Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are metrics that are used to proxy for system performance.

1. Localisation Performance

The ability to accurately determine the position of the turtlebot in a $2 \times 2$ metre grid. We aim to get within $\pm0.5\text{m}$ of the true turtlebot location.

2. Responsiveness

The response time between sensing control inputs and moving the turtlebot. This includes the ability to communicate between the sensors and the turtlebot. We aim to move the turtlebot within half a second of sensor input.

3. Mobility

The ability to move the turtlebot around the field in a desired manner (left, right, forward, backwards). We aim to able to achieve all basic movements.

4. Mapping Performance

Ability to map the course and any static obstacles within a good degree of accuracy. We aim to map the entire course and any obstacles placed in the arena within $\pm0.5\text{m}$.

5. Velocity Control

The ability to control how fast the turtlebot is moving, and change the velocity with the foot pedal. We aim to linearly control the velocity of the turtlebot, and change the direction
