Meet the talented team behind the Short Circuit Robot: Camilo Buscaron, Sofia Gaviria, and Pedro Palomino, all first-semester freshmen studying various engineering and science majors. They have gained valuable insights into robotics programming, sensors, and environmental engineering. Camilo aspires to dominate in robotics and AI, Sofia aims for a pre-med path enriched by engineering principles, and Pedro dreams of building innovative battlebots. Despite challenges with sensor readings in their project, they embraced teamwork and perseverance, laying the groundwork for their promising futures.

CamiloBuscaron • 1st Semester Freshmen • Majoring in Computer(hardware) Engineering • I have learned the basics of robotic programing • I would like to purse graduate studies in Robotics and Artificial intelligence • I do not consider that this course has any effect on my future • After college, I plan to dominate the world • Do what you are suppose to be doing, when you are suppose to be doing it
Sofia Gaviria • Freshman • Major: Biology • Learned from course: about sensors and how to program a robot to run on its own…trial and error • how course affect future: I am going to think more in depth about how everything we use works electrically speaking, develop great respect for engineers • UF/career plans and goals: I plan to go into pre-med, expose myself to the various opportunities in that area, gain lab experience • Words of wisdom: Don’t procrastinate, keep your goals in mind, try something new, keep an open mind, some change is good.
Pedro Palomino • 1st Semester Freshmen • Majoring in Environmental Engineering • I have learned what goes into building a robot • In the future I hope to use this knowledge to build a battlebot • I plan to get a degree in EES, and maybe a masters • After college, I want to work for the government, and then hopefully open my own firm • Work hard and have fun!
Proposedmethodology • Our Robot relied on the left/right side Infrared sensors(IR) to avoid collision • In addition to the front sensor to estimate proximity • After receiving a value from the front IR the robot relied on the value from the side IRs to make a decision • While constantly checking for the value that the photocell feeding back
Proposedmethodology • As a goal we endeavor to follow the rules of good programming practice. By keeping a simple and concise code with out sacrificing efficiency and clarity. • We accomplish this by limiting the source code to 4 lines of behaviors. • If chan1 < 30 & chan 2 < 30 then forward for 300 • Else if chan 0 > 65 then right for 2 • Else if chan 1 > 30 then right • Else if chan 1 > 20 then left
Problems & Solution • The main problem we experienced was faulty sensor readings when two sensor where caught in a corner at and oblique angle. • This prevented the robot for completing the 1st run successfully, however the 2nd run the robot complete the course effectively
