Meet our robot:

  • The Hamburglar
    • Major: Pushing red balls through yellow goals
    • Home town: Cambridge, MA
    • Info: The hamburglar is a "greedy" or "hungry" robot. It cruises around and looks for balls and goals. If it has a ball, it tries to immediately put it in the goal. It has a very simple but robust 2D vision system for identifying regions of interest, a "vestibular system" (gyroscope) for driving straight and rotating, and it uses several infrared sensors to identify walls. Simple feedback-controlled driving algorithms allow the hamburglar to correct for small directional errors. Pictures and demo videos of the Hamburglar are posted at http://web.mit.edu/j_moore/www/Robot%20MASlab/
