WALL-E Version 1.0
The "WALL-E" Project is a ME 507 quarter term project inspired to recreate the robot WALL-E. The WALL-E robot is a fully 3D printed robot with modified components in order to fit the needs of the chosen peripherals and electronics. WALL-E contains a custom made PCB which is housed in the main body of WALL-E. WALL-E's peripherals and components include 2 pololu Romi Motors with encoders, 4 MG90s servos, BNO055 IMU, and a OV2640 ArduCam camera. The objective of WALL-E is to scan the surrounding area for the closest object to it. Once that object is detected, WALL-E drives up to the object, attempts to pick up or hold the object and detect the color of the object.

This page will explain the Software Design aspects of the WALL-E project. More in depth detail over source and header files can be found in the Classes tab of the website.
The WALL-E project follows an FSM with states to start, turn, scan, scan_complete, turn, forward, stop. The goal of WALL-E is to transition between states scanning all around for the closest object. Upon recording all areas, WALL-E turns to the closest possible object, moves towards it. Attempts to pick up the object and identifies its color.
