4.3 Recommendations

In this task, the robot moves smoothly and is able to transmit and receive the

messenger. For future work, we would suggest that the constraint for the MR1 to use RF
signal should be removed. To transmit the messenger, the RF signal is more efficient

compared to the Bluetooth signal because Bluetooth signal is not stable in a congested area.

For the next project, a longer time frame is needed in order to operate effectively the
messenger robot and to ensure that its movement is smooth and stable. It would be

interesting to try to stabilize the wheel movement by using mini cylinder air tank. With some
pneumatic touch, the gripper will be smoother when in throwing mode. For future work, it

would be to better to consider the reachable set, perhaps by incorporating knowledge about
the nearby terrain. Lastly, the proposed motion planning approach can be generalized, and

applied to a variety of other systems. In the future, we should try similar planning algorithm

on a dynamic biped to achieve walking distance over rough terrain.
