The primary objective
of this project is to have a line of
battle-ready SUMOBOTs that abide by Tournament Rules and
Regulations of
the FSI (FujiSoft ABC Inc.) – All Japan Robot-Sumo
Tournament.
One task was to develop and implement the use of photo cells
to detect
the border of the sumo ring (Dohyo). Using a photo cell allows
the
robot to receive a variable numerical value to distinguish
between
the black arena or white border of the Dohyo.
The ISL SUMOBOTs employ an automatic calibration behavior
for their
initial movements. Specifically, assuming the SUMOBOT always
starts
on a white border region, the SUMOBOT approximates the
border region
by sampling the white region then traveling forward into
the black
region and sampling it.
