Introduction
In the following we will present you our projects implemented in Lego Mindstorms. The first we named question, we implemented some basic functionalities in it which we believe are useful in robotics, such as object avoidance and crash detection. The second project was a line follower, it adapts it's path such as to remain on a black line using two optical sensors. Both programs use the same robot. We have chosen to work in Lego Mindstorms, because it has most of the functionalities needed to implement our robot. The downside of course is that it has a limited set of useable blocks as oposed to programming in Java in which the possibilities are endless.
Project: Question
Overview

Country(s): Spain, Belgium
Date: 09.07.2010
Activity: R.U.R. - Summer School 2010
Abstract
Hardware Design: This project is a Lego Mindstorms robot consisting of a touch sensor, a sound sensor and an ultrasonic sensor.
Software Design: The ultrasonic sensor is used to implement object avoidance. When approaching an object it sees it and adjusts it's route by turning once and next returning to it's original path behind the object. Next, the robot will go backwards until it bumps into an object, the touch sensor detects this and orders the robot to return to the forward direction. Finally the robot is stopped when it detects a loud noise with the sound sensor.

Project: Linefollower
Overview
Author(s): Eduardo Bonilla, Yassine Ryad, Susana Soto
Country(s): Spain, Belgium
Date: 09.07.2010
Activity: R.U.R. - Summer School 2010
Abstract
Hardware Design: This project is also a Lego Mindstorms robot built using the standard blocks and two light sensors.
Software Design: The two light sensors are set such that the robot follows a line, when one of the sensors crosses a black line the light reflected decreases and the robot sees the line and turns in the opposing direction.
