Faculty of Technology: Mobile Robot Simulation Report, IMAT5121

This report details a mobile robot simulation conducted using the VREP software, designed to fulfill specific tasks within a confined environment. The simulation involves a robot navigating a room with three walls and an opening, equipped with three distance sensors for object detection. The robot's primary objectives include mapping the environment, avoiding obstacles, and locating a designated beacon. The report outlines the architecture, behavior, and results of the simulation, illustrating the robot's ability to map the room, detect and avoid obstacles, and ultimately locate the beacon. The robot's movement and sensor data are analyzed, with the report concluding the successful implementation of the simulation and its ability to perform the set tasks. The robot successfully maps the room, avoids obstacles, and determines the middle of the room based on the mapped corners, showcasing the effectiveness of the simulation setup and the robot's programmed behavior.
