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
editMention 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
editIt 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
editFlakey 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]
