Capteur de position

Le capteur de position, ou GPS, donne la position du robot en mètres. Sur le robot de départ, il s’appelle gps. Vous en avez besoin pour signaler les marqueurs muraux, et il aide beaucoup à explorer méthodiquement.

getValues() renvoie [x, y, z]. X et Z sont horizontaux, et Y est vertical : utilisez donc X et Z pour la position dans le labyrinthe :

Python

from controller import Robot

robot = Robot()
timeStep = int(robot.getBasicTimeStep())

gps = robot.getDevice("gps")
gps.enable(timeStep)

while robot.step(timeStep) != -1:
    x, y, z = gps.getValues()  # In meters. X and Z are horizontal, Y is vertical.
    print("x:", round(x, 3), "z:", round(z, 3))

C/C++

#include <iostream>
#include <webots/Robot.hpp>
#include <webots/GPS.hpp>

using namespace webots;
using namespace std;

int main() {
  Robot *robot = new Robot();
  int timeStep = (int)robot->getBasicTimeStep();

  GPS *gps = robot->getGPS("gps");
  gps->enable(timeStep);

  while (robot->step(timeStep) != -1) {
    const double *position = gps->getValues(); // In meters. X and Z are horizontal, Y is vertical.
    cout << "x: " << position[0] << " z: " << position[2] << endl;
  }

  delete robot;
  return 0;
}

Le GPS a un bruit de quelques millimètres : les valeurs varient donc légèrement même quand le robot est immobile. Ne testez jamais l’égalité exacte de deux positions.

Exemple : distance depuis le départ

Ce programme avance jusqu’à ce que le robot soit à une demi-case de son point de départ :

Python

from controller import Robot
import math

robot = Robot()
timeStep = int(robot.getBasicTimeStep())

gps = robot.getDevice("gps")
gps.enable(timeStep)
leftWheel = robot.getDevice("left wheel motor")
rightWheel = robot.getDevice("right wheel motor")
leftWheel.setPosition(float("inf"))
rightWheel.setPosition(float("inf"))

robot.step(timeStep)  # Step once, so that the GPS has a value
startX, _, startZ = gps.getValues()

leftWheel.setVelocity(3.0)
rightWheel.setVelocity(3.0)

while robot.step(timeStep) != -1:
    x, _, z = gps.getValues()
    distance = math.sqrt((x - startX) ** 2 + (z - startZ) ** 2)
    print("Distance from the start:", round(distance, 3), "m")
    if distance > 0.06:  # Half a tile
        leftWheel.setVelocity(0)
        rightWheel.setVelocity(0)
        break

C/C++

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <webots/Robot.hpp>
#include <webots/GPS.hpp>
#include <webots/Motor.hpp>

using namespace webots;
using namespace std;

int main() {
  Robot *robot = new Robot();
  int timeStep = (int)robot->getBasicTimeStep();

  GPS *gps = robot->getGPS("gps");
  gps->enable(timeStep);
  Motor *leftWheel = robot->getMotor("left wheel motor");
  Motor *rightWheel = robot->getMotor("right wheel motor");
  leftWheel->setPosition(INFINITY);
  rightWheel->setPosition(INFINITY);

  robot->step(timeStep); // Step once, so that the GPS has a value
  double startX = gps->getValues()[0], startZ = gps->getValues()[2];

  leftWheel->setVelocity(3.0);
  rightWheel->setVelocity(3.0);

  while (robot->step(timeStep) != -1) {
    double x = gps->getValues()[0], z = gps->getValues()[2];
    double distance = sqrt(pow(x - startX, 2) + pow(z - startZ, 2));
    cout << "Distance from the start: " << distance << " m" << endl;
    if (distance > 0.06) { // Half a tile
      leftWheel->setVelocity(0);
      rightWheel->setVelocity(0);
      break;
    }
  }

  delete robot;
  return 0;
