Map Interaction

Every reset starts with a clear map. Use Load Scenario for the built-in static and moving obstacles.

Enable Place Obstacle, then click inside the map to drop a static obstacle anywhere except on the UGV, markers, target, or perimeter edge.

The rangefinder emits one pulse per second straight along the UGV heading. If a forward block persists past the selected delay, the vehicle performs a turnback recovery.

The visible channel changes camera range, marker/obstacle detection, optical-gyro availability, and ranging reliability. MEMS orientation remains available when vision is blocked.

Dashed obstacle rings are the tracks available to VFH. The planner no longer receives hidden ground-truth obstacles.

GNSS loss, orientation tools, passive markers, rangefinder, weather, and fusion-software quality can be analysed independently or together.
