Minimalism in Robotics

3 robots · ultrasonic only · CircuitPython

From Workshop A of the 14th International UbiComp Summer School (UBISS 2026) at the University of Oulu: how little sensing and computation does coordinated multi-robot behaviour actually need?

I built a leader-follower system of three robots in which the two followers used only ultrasonic sensors to lock onto and track the leader, and implemented the control logic in CircuitPython on a physical robot platform. The system was completed and presented at the workshop.

The linked repository holds my study notes from the workshop, not the full build.
