Overview
This project consists of two main parts; the improvement of e-puck hardware and the theoretical research on estimating the environment using data collected by the sensor. The e-pucks are improved to have a new version of XBee interface extension board which contains a color sensor to collect data, and have a new LED pattern board at the top of it. By designing this new LED pattern board, each black dot pattern of e-pucks, which has been used by the machine vision system, was replaced by the LED, and the machine vision system is improved in a way to recognize each robot by its LED lights, not by the black dots.
