Also, his knowledge in Webot simulation, Python and other programming languages, circuit designing, machine learning, and neural networks are impressive. He has experience working with embedded systems, Arduino and robotics. He is an allrounder student who performs well in academics, sports and extracurricular. Udula Ranasinghe is currently an undergraduate of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering at University of Peradeniya. Also the coding for the robot was well explained for a certain extent. Then started building the robot from scratch with explaining every single bit of information.
Topic: Simulation of a obstacle preventing Robot in the Webots Softwareĭid a presentation as an approach to to the simulation. Finally, he mentioned about the first task that will be given to the participants in the near future.
At the end of the session, he just made the robot go forward and showed us the mid-way outcome. As the time limited our session to two hours, he had to stop mid-way, hoping to meet the same energetic participants the next day.
So that the participants were aware of the possible errors and how to rectify them. The robot was built from scratch by explaining everything and while debugging the errors encountered. Also, the speaker gave an idea about the possible programming languages that we can execute on Webots.
So the first session was started with a presentation about the Webot software environment and some features of the components which we can add when creating the robot. Udula Ranasinghe, the secretary of the Robotics and Automation Society, who has vast knowledge on robotics and was also a participant in well-known robot competitions. The speaker and the instructor of the event was Mr. At the commencement of the event, the day’s moderator gave a warm welcome to the gathering and a brief introduction about the speaker. So this novel idea of giving the registrants of Robotricks’21/22 the experience of simulating a robot through the Webots software is all because of the country’s pandemic situation, and the registrants are all stuck inside their houses.ĭay 01 of the two-day workshop was held on the 1 st of August 2021 via the zoom platform with more than 100 enthusiastic participants.
Robotics and automation are not just learning theories, and only the theories can’t handle a well-controlled robot. The outcomes provided by the experiments conducted using both virtual and real e-pucks under the Webots framework open new doors for low-cost multi-robot applications.2-day workshop on Webots Software with hands-on experience.
Due to the limitations of the e-puck’s Bluetooth modules, this work goes even further by bringing some insights about the Gumstix Overo COM turret and how robot–robot communication may be achieved using WiFi technology. Among the range of new possible functionalities, this article describes the successful implementation of the microphone, the speaker, and the Bluetooth for robot–robot communication. By doing so, one can easily improve the already existing e-puck’s functionalities on Webots, as well as adding new functionalities required by most MRS applications.
This article starts by proposing a new Webots programming architecture that provides full control of the e-puck’s firmware. The work is motivated by the need of a realistic simulation environment, especially designed to consider the unique challenges associated to multi-robot systems ( MRS), such as the robot–robot interaction ( RRI). This work presents a set of techniques to improve the cross-compatibility between the Webots simulator and the educational e-puck mobile robot.
