NEDCON

Promotional demo for NEDCON in Doetinchem Netherlands in cooperation with Vr-producties.nl. The project was created for an event where NEDCON products were shown in the demo and could be seen in virtual reality with Oculus Rift. In this project the user has to enjoy the rollercoaster ride while the voice of NEDCON introduces the user to the company and its products. The final version is a lot slower than intended mainly for safety reasons.

The area consists of 2 large platforms. Each platform has its own unique robots carrying packages from place to place. One of the platforms also has elevators for the robots to get the package to the base track. I decided to give the project a little extra to create Artificial intelligence for the robots and make them realistic and random in behaviour. With the use of Finite state machines it was possible to easily track the states of each robot and keep them waiting in a queue in case the elevator is busy.  Furthermore the robots check where to find packages, which packages have priority and where empty spaces are to unload.
