Homework problems 3 and 4 8 Picobot area not covered (yet!) Picobot walls area already covered Goal: whole-environment coverage with only local sensing … inspiration?

Picobot 9 area not covered (yet!) Goal: whole-environment coverage with only local sensing … area already covered Picobot walls iRobot's Roomba vacuum inspiration!

Surroundings 10 N W E S Picobot can only sense things directly to the N, E, W, and S For example, here its surroundings are NxWxNxWx N E W S Surroundings are always in NEWS order.

How many distinct surroundings are there? N E W S xxxxNxxxxExxxxWxxxxSNExxNxWxNxxS xEWxxExSxxWSNEWxNExSNxWSxEWSNEWS (won’t happen) == 16 possible … 2424 Surroundings

State Picobot's memory is a single number, called its state. State is the internal context of computation. State and surroundings represent everything the robot knows about the world Picobot always starts in state 0. I am in state 0. My surroundings are xxWS.

Rules Picobot moves according to a set of rules: state I am in state 0. My surroundings are xxWS. surroundings 0 xxWS 0N directionnew state If I'm in state 0 seeing xxWS, Then I move N orth, and change to state 0. Aha! I should move N. I should enter state 0.

Wildcards Asterisks * are wild cards. They match walls or empty space: 0 x*** 0N statesurroundingsdirectionnew state here, EWS may be wall or empty space I am in state 0. My surroundings are xxWS. Aha! This matches x***

What will this set of rules do to Picobot? 0 x*** 0N 0 N*** 1X 1 ***x 1S 1 ***S 0X statesurroundingsdirectionnew state Picobot checks its rules from the top each time. Only one rule is allowed per state and surroundings. When it finds a matching rule, that rule runs. ->

To do Write rules that will always cover these two rooms. (separate sets of rules are encouraged…) but your rules should work regardless of Picobot's starting location hw0, Problem #3 hw0, Problem #4 (Extra)

Alter these "up & down" rules so that Picobot will traverse the empty room… the empty room
