2. Purpose
The purpose of this robot is to autonomously vacuum a room, and then return to its base.

3. Devices used
IR Sensors
Bump switches
High-torque servos
IR Beacons

4. IR and Bump GP2D12 sensors Bump switches 10 to 80 cm
Analog output to ADC
Bump switches

5. IR Beacons Locate direction of home base
4 IR detectors, 4 IR LEDs, 4 LEDs
All controlled by PIC microcontroller
Since the detectors are at 90° angles, can extrapolate direction (e.g., NW)
