Class RandomPathFinder

java.lang.Object

lejos.robotics.pathfinding.RandomPathFinder

All Implemented Interfaces:

PathFinder

public class RandomPathFinder
extends java.lang.Object
implements PathFinder

PathFinder that takes a map and a dummy set of range readings. It finds a path that is in short moves, has no obstacles in the way and where valid range readings can be taken from each waypoint. The algorithm is not deterministic so each time it is called a new route will be found.

Constructor Detail

RandomPathFinder

public RandomPathFinder(RangeMap map,
                        RangeReadings readings)

Method Detail

setMaxRange

public void setMaxRange(float range)

Set the maximum valid range readings

Parameters:

range - the maximum range

setMaxDistance

public void setMaxDistance(float distance)

Set the maximum distance between waypoints

Parameters:

distance - the maximum distance

setMaxIterations

public void setMaxIterations(int iterations)

Set the maximum number of iterations before giving up when searching for a path

Parameters:

iterations - the maximum number of iterations

setClearance

public void setClearance(float clearance)

Set the clearance around the edge of the map. This does not really work as clearance shiould be around all walls and obstacles.

Parameters:

clearance - the clearance

findRoute

public Path findRoute(Pose start,
                      Waypoint destination)
               throws DestinationUnreachableException

Specified by:

findRoute in interface PathFinder

Throws:

DestinationUnreachableException

addListener

public void addListener(WaypointListener wpl)

Specified by:

addListener in interface PathFinder

startPathFinding

public void startPathFinding(Pose start,
                             Waypoint end)

Specified by:
