Course Project Instructions =========================== A robot is sitting in a chair with its arms facing down. Write an algorithm, using pseudocode, to make the robot: stand up walk forward until it senses a wall turn around walk back to the chair sit down in its original starting position Finally, output the total number of steps taken. Commands -------- In addition to our standard pseudocode commands, you must also use the following robot control commands: sit stand step (one step forward) raise arms (parallel to floor) lower arms (pointing to floor) sense (only if arms are raised) turn (90 degrees right) Immediately after issuing a sense command, you can check whether the robot is at the wall as follows: if at wall or alternatively if not at wall Assumptions ----------- You must assume the following facts: The robot's initial sitting position is directly facing the target wall. There are no obstacles between the robot and the wall. The wall is 1 or more exact steps from the chair. The wall is sensed when it is less than 1 step from the robot's arms. The length of the robot's arms are slightly less than the length of 1 step. Your solution ------------- Your solution must include all of the following: Adequate comments Initialization and use of at least one variable Sequential flow of control Conditional flow of control Iterative flow of control Handling of any special cases Output of the total number of steps taken Your pseudocode must conform to the course pseudocode guidelines.
Explanation / Answer
The following is a pseudocode.
1. stand
2. raisearms
3. sense
4. if at wall:
5. turn, turn
6. sense
if at chair:
turn, turn
sit
lower arms
end
if not at chair:
step
go to step 6
7. if not at wall:
step
go to step 3
8. end
