Rover Explorer Robot (Mindstorms NXT 2.0, LeJOS)

Inspired by design of
and some code pieces from the "legointernational" project on Google Code I decided to build NXT Mindstorms 2.0 and LeJOS based rover explorer robot matching two main design goals:
  • maximum sensing capabilities available in standard NXT 2.0 kit: touch, ultrasonic and color sensors
  • durability and ruggedness: use tracks instead of wheels
  • simplicity: minimize the number of components
Step 1. Building Rover Explorer Robot platform
Step 2. Implement ultrasonic sensor based feature detection
Step 3. Implement Fast SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
Step 4. Implement environment exploration and motion planning
Step 5. Real-time data exchange with PC and graphical dashboard
