When developing these robots, please observe the Robocode Developer Guidelines, with the following exceptions: (1) your simple robot does not have to contain original code (though you should still indicate where you found it); (2) You don't have to make a blog entry for each simple robot. 5 / 5 ( 9 votes ) Overview The Robocode Project is a way for students practice programming skills in a competitive team-based context. You will implement a single software robot from the ground up that functions in the Robocode environment. Robocode robots are tanks with radar and a single turret. Your goal will be.
Free Robotics CodeRobot Programming CodeRobotics InstituteCarnegie Mellon UniversityI am starting to release all of our useful robot programming code for theconsumption of the courageous among you.RoboCode, finally,is a zipped example for using a USBcamera directly from Java. The trick is to make use ofthe JMF, or Java Media Framework, which is available. Youwill want to download, for instance, the JMF 2.1.1 release and useit as instructed in our instructions.
This USB solution supercedesthe C-based SDK that we allused to use from Logitech and that is archived a fewparagraphs down on this page.is a zipped set of examples of our 16x62 codefor controlling Nomad Scouts in.Here is a zipped example of communication between the16f877 pic board and the CMUcam. There areplenty of comments in the code, so just clickfor a zip file. Note that thecmucam example is up to date, but you should really use cerebv2.c and.hrather than cereb.c and.h.Here is a zipped example of communication between theHandyboards used in(running Interactive C) andthe CMUcam. Plenty of comments in the code, so justclick for a zipfile.Here is a software module for making programming theeasy. This code is all designed to compile under the C2Cprogramming environment. WARNING: Use only C2C version 4.1.7e,especially if you're at CMU! In general, this is an up-to-dateversion of the Cereb distribution, this is version 4.1.
I supportthis for CMU users but for others in the wide open world you arewelcome to download this and use it at will.Clickfor a zip file. Please note- if you're at CMU, you alsohave a right to the install files and the C2C key. For thisinformation contact me directly.NOTE: The following USB driver and example is accessible forarchival reasons only. Don't use this. It is too old.
Insteaduse the Java solution further up this page!Here is an easy way to use a USB Camera to docomputer vision on a notebook computer - for a mobile robot, of course!Click for a zipped Visual C6.0 project that includes all the source code as well as a README pdfdocument that describes things. Click for just the documentation.This is a zipped Microsoft Visual C 5.0 project anda Symantec Visual Cafe Java project that you might like. It implementsa simple serial port interface, via the C dll, in Java. So now your Javaprograms can do things like talk through all of your machine's serial ports.Just click.Here is a zipped executable (for Windows 95 and NT) thatcommunicates with a scout, allows you to turn on and off the sonars,displays the sonar pings graphically, and allows you to use the keyboardto joystick the robot around.
Just click.The following is a WinZipped Visual C 5.0 project that implements awindows-based communication interface for the Nomad Scout robot. Thisis a windows interface- there is no main, but the part you need tolook at is called RobotMain and is located in robot.c.Simply unzip this code on your Windows 95 or Windows NT machine, connectup your Nomad Scout to serial port 1, and run the code. Examples meant forpattern matching are provided in robot.c.The following is a WinZipped Visual C 5.0 project thatimplements a communication interface for the Nomad Scout robot thatdoes NOT use windows- it just uses a console. So, this programhas a main, like any ordinary C project.The following is a WinZipped Symantec Java 1.1 project that implementsa communication interface for the Nomad Scout. This zipped archive containstwo important directories. CSIDE contains the source code for the DLLthat I made in Visual C 5.0 that communicates with the robot. JAVASIDEcontains the source code for an example Java program that controls therobot using my DLL.
This is great fun; enjoy!The following is a WinZipped Symantec Java 1.1 project thatimplements a.graphical. communication interface for the Nomad Scout.Use this instead of the one above. Included in this zip is a robotmanual written by us for the Scout, including a step-by-step introductionto Symantec Visual Cafe and a quick reference guide that we've put together.Enjoy!THIS is a Winzipped Symantec Visual Cafe projectfor having your robot/computer speak with a speech synthesizermade by microsoft research! You need and you also need to download and install Microsoft's speechSAPI 3.0 SDK (or is it 4.0?), available at. And note thatin the project directory there is a Word 6.0 file that describes howit all works.If you need the development environment where we made the C DLL (usingMicrosoft Visual C 5.0), then you should download.The following is a text file containing code for computing Hue, Saturationand Intensity from RGB data.
Color cameras are.very. useful, and Hue isa great identifier to use when Saturation is high.
Be warned, there are manyalternative equations for computing HSI- this is just one of these many! Last modified September 29, 1997Illah R. Nourbakhsh.
The basic robot class that you will extend to create your own robots.Please note the following standards will be used:heading - absolute angle in degrees with 0 facing up the screen,positive clockwise.
