Assignment 1 description

Path planning and execution

The objective of Assignment 1 is that you get familiar with the car and drone motion models, and understand how to plan and execute a path in a given environment using a fairly complex car model.

Your task is to plan and execute a path from start to goal, using the provided car and drone models in Unity3d, in a map that is unknown to you, but accessible to your algorithm at planning time (all details can be found here). Strive to get the vehicle from start to goal as fast as possible (counting only driving time, not planning time, Unity will measure this).

When designing your algorithms, you can use the given terrains to test your solution. The final test will be using a different terrain of a similar type.

 

Project reporting

Project reporting will be carried out in the following form:

  • Before the meeting (see deadline) each week:
  • At the final meeting
    • Solve example problems similar to A,B,C 
  • In a report, in the form of a scientific paper, one week after each final meeting

Details regarding all of these can be found here.
