CARMEL was a research robot developed by the University of Michigan's Mobile Robotics Lab. It won first prize at the first Mobile Robot Olympics held in July 1992 in San Jose, California.
Software[edit]
Mention Vector Field Histograms and Virtual Force Field were written in Lisp, with some lower-level code written in C.[1] The code maintains a "Local Perceptual Space" that is updated by the sensors and acted on by planning algorithms.[2]
Hardware[edit]
It was about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, and included 12 sonar sensors, optical wheel encoders, a video camera, and a depth-finding laser.[3]
Research results[edit]
Flakey was used to demonstrate fuzzy logic and goal-oriented behavior - it would take what it knew and work towards one of several goals.[4] At the first AAAI robotics competition in July 1992, Flakey took second place and the University of Michigan's CARMEL took first, above Georgia Tech's "Buzz" and IBM's "TJ2".[1][4]
