Roomba Pac-Man
     


The Research and Engineering
Center for Unmanned Vehicles (RECUV) at the University of Colorado
at Boulder has been developing software that helps robots form ad-hoc
networks and distribute cooperative control of their operations. Some of the
individuals at RECUV decided to create a cool demo on their own time to
show off what their software can do. They've implemented a real-life
version of Pac-Man using
Roombas. They are quick to point out that despite the fact that the
Blinky, Inky, Clyde, and Pinky Roombas seem determined to kill the
Pac-Man Roomba, all the robots are actually quite safe. This is because,
they say, all are "instilled with the Three Laws of Roombotics".
And we'll note that the software
is safe to download and use too because it protects your rights to
examine, use, modify and distribute under the GNU GPL. There's one more
video after the break with details on the waypoint navigation
software used in the demo.
