to mark as completed Robbie-Robot
Robbie-Robot (Have to change that name!) is basically "intended" to be a mostly autonomous rover using a Raspberry PI for processing sensor data from the arduinos, commands from a Web Console, and providing instructions back to the arduinos for roaming. Very *very* much in it's infant state, this project is hoping to use TINYSLAM" with limited capability IR and sonar sensors. To deal with the limited range and sensitivity of these sensors, we are cheating, by providing a pre-existing imagemap of it's surroundings (monochrome bitmap of the floorplan)
