Interface IMclRobot<V extends IMclVector,M extends IMclMove<M>,R extends IMclRangeReading<R,V>>

Type Parameters:

V - an n-1-dimensional vector implementing IMclVector, where n is the dimensionality of the environment.

M - a movement (or sequence of movements) of the robot, implementing IMclMove.

R - a range measurement, implementing IMclRangeReading.

public interface IMclRobot<V extends IMclVector,M extends IMclMove<M>,R extends IMclRangeReading<R,V>>

This interface defines functionality a robotic agent has to implement in order to localize itself via MonteCarloLocalization.

Method Detail

getRangeReadings

R[] getRangeReadings()
              throws RobotException

Causes a series of sensor measurements to determine the distance to various obstacles within the environment.

Returns:

an array of range measurements <R>.

Throws:

RobotException - thrown if the range reading was not successful.

performMove

M performMove()
       throws RobotException

Causes the robot to perform a movement.

Returns:

the move the robot performed.

Throws:

RobotException - thrown if the move was not successful.
