RAA includes the team of robots, the environment, and the task(s) to be performed by the robot team. The robot’s world is where robot teams will have to function. Since not all robots are created equal, the success of the team as a whole is tied to each team member being able to navigate within and interact with the world successfully.
Looking at the diagram below, the first environment is the original environment. This represents the environment before any robots have interacted with it in any way. The second environment is the environment that the robots have interacted with or manipulated in some way. If the robots were successful in executing their task, then the original environment is transformed to the second environment which then represents the solved problem or completed work. If the team of robots failed, then the second environment can be used to see what went wrong. The RAA represents the complete approach (including solution or set of tasks) that will be necessary in order to pronounce that the robot teamwork was successful.
These five elements give us a complete picture of the team-based RAA for our problem.
●Capability Matrix
●READ set
●Robot Designs
●Logic Flow Charts
●Robot Programs
Once you have a grasp of these five elements you can begin to build your own team of robots to accomplish whatever challenges you think they're up to!
