Submitted : Fall 2009

Project prompt involves Computer Science in Robotics, and asks to calculate the path a robot will take to navigate an obstacle field and get to its goal. Three obstacles are given as negative potentials fields that the robot avoids, and a goal is given a positive potential field that attracts the robot. The robot decides each step it should take based on its distance, angle, and influence from every object, and after it takes a step, recalculates everything, before taking its next step, until reaching its goal, where it will not move further.
