Back in November of 2020, I posted about some wall-tracking exercises using my Office ‘sandbox’. Since then I have done some work on the charging station to make it more robust, and on Wall-E2’s ability to home in on and connect to the charging station. The following short video shows Wall-E2 making a complete circuit of the sandbox, ending with a homing run and connection to the charging station.

I plan to do quite a bit more work on the charging station homing algorithm, in particular how Wall-E2 reacts when it gets stuck trying to connect (which happens with somewhat disconcerting regularity).

Stay Tuned!
