  • Assemble a TurtleBot 3 Waffle PI (with a RGB camera), and an open manipulator.
  • Install ROS onto the robot/operator for remote control.
  • Exploit the RGB sensor to detect colour- indexed cubes and assemble them in certain form/shape.

Final Year Project - Nature Simulation Game

Develop a game that used nature as basis of its game mechanics. The game created was a maze builder that the game would learn to solve using a artificial intelligence technique, known as NEAT, to create generational agents that would inherit "knowledge" from their ancestors to perform better and eventually solve the maze.
