  1. Software Development IPRE Kickoff Meeting Bryn Mawr College Doug Blank Bryn Mawr College

  2. IPRE Software • Connecting Curriculum and Hardware • Software Design Overview • Short term goals for Spring 2007 • On to Hardware Bryn Mawr College

  3. Educational Robotics • No one has really ever done this before! • “Using robots in CS1” is not the same thing as “using robots in service of teaching CS1” • CS education is primary goal • Robotics is the motivation • A robot that is good for robotics is not necessarily a robot that is good for education, and verse vice-a Bryn Mawr College

  4. Software Development Overview • CS1 and CS2 components are just the tip of the iceberg • These are just “gateway robots” to more sophisticated systems • “Myro” designed to span the needs of teachers and students from introductory coursework to research robotics, and beyond; and create a smooth continuum • Should be easy to do very interesting things Bryn Mawr College

  5. Myro Layers Myro IronPython Myro C# Personal Robot MSR SDK Microcontroller Server Serial/Bluetooth Client Serial/Bluetooth Client Bluetooth Device Interface Bluetooth Device Interface Bryn Mawr College

  6. Myro Layers Myro IronPython Myro C# Scribbler Hardware MSR SDK BASIC STAMP Server Serial/Bluetooth Client Serial/Bluetooth Client Bluetooth Device Interface Bluetooth Device Interface Bryn Mawr College

  10. Myro Layers, Spring 2007 Scribbler Hardware Myro CPython BASIC STAMP Server Serial/Bluetooth Client Serial/Bluetooth Client Bluetooth Device Interface Bluetooth Device Interface Bryn Mawr College

  11. Myro, Spring 2007 • POLL-mode; get sensor data when needed • Some intelligence: no need to POLL again within a minimum time span • Make the client/server communications robust Bryn Mawr College

  12. Myro Interfaces • Functions • left(), right(), forward(), move() • Object-oriented • robot.left(), robot.right(), robot.forward(), robot.move() Bryn Mawr College

  13. Myro Simulator in Python Bryn Mawr College

  14. Myro code examples from myro import * initialize(“com5”) forward(.5) rotate(.8) stop() for command in [left, right, forward]: command(.7) stop() Bryn Mawr College

  15. Myro code examples from myro import * robot = Scribbler(“/dev/ttyUSB0”) robot.move(.4, .1) for i in range(4): robot.forward(1) time.sleep(3) robot.stop() robot.left(.6) time.sleep(5) robot.stop() Bryn Mawr College

  16. Myro Development • C# coding standards • Team Suite Foundation Server • Bug tracking • Web integration • Code Analysis • Unit Testing Bryn Mawr College

  17. Hardware • Flip Camera • Whiteboard playpen Bryn Mawr College
