Mission evaluation and source code

Looking back on the final mars mission, we as a group can say that we were quite pleased with the results. Even though the edge detection did not prove sufficient in the end, despite having tweaked it extensively, the mission itself can be regarded as quite a success, as all four modes of our program have been used succesfully.

In the video the modes can be seen clearly: The robot started off in roaming mode, until the camera spotted the lake. When this happened, the robot stopped for a few seconds, after which it started approaching the lake. Measuring the lake and sending the temperature worked succesfully (hence the small applause), after which the robot chose to pass the lake on the right side. Having succesfully done this, the roaming mode was resumed again. Unfortunately, this is where the edge-detection started malfunctioning, ending the mission.

The source code used in this setup, both in c-format and in a very readable pdf-format, can be obtained from http://www.student.tue.nl/p/r.p.j.jacobs/emc_group2.zip
