forward and avoid both obstacles and drop-offs. Note: The 'wbr_avoid' program can only be run
directly on the robot and NOT remotely as the port number and IP address are hardcoded.
Step 16: Although they do not come as a default configuration on the 914 PC-BOT, sonar sensors and
laser scanners may be added to the robot. Within the 'libplayerc++' directory there are also sample
laser obstacle avoid and sonar obstacle avoid programs, which are run in the same way as the wbr914
(IR obstacle avoid) program.
Step 17: To run the control programs from a remote computer, the robot must be connected on the
same network and the IP address must be known. Type the following command with the IP address in
place of the <IPaddress>:
"./laserobstacleavoid –h <IPaddress> -p 6665"
