• Develop a general purpose software diagnostic tool for application troubleshooting of the I²C communication capability featured and supported by the SR4 Robot.
• Write a Java application for the robot’s user panel that adds advanced LCD manipulation and a method to provide an event driven structure to a row of buttons.
• Prepare and test user software for the experimental position-triangulator board and beacons that are shipped with the SR4-Navigator Robot. This work led directly to the addition of a rotating pan-and-tilt mechanism for the triangulator to facilitate and improve the acquisition of beacon signals by the robot.
• Test and evaluate the prototype real-time ammeter board at Smart Robots, Inc. (SRI) for real-time measurement of motor currents on the robot’s two motor-wheel-base’s motors for PC monitoring via wireless data link to the robot.
• Design and test scientific-method-based experiments with the robot’s encoder-based-straight-line path execution functionality on the robot.
