Homework 4

Pedro is designing software for a circular-shaped mobile robot that will move around within his home. The robot moves within a space that is a 3m by 3m square. The robot can rotate in place at a desired angular velocity and it can travel straight ahead at a desired linear velocity in the direction it is facing. Pedro's goal for the robot is to travel to certain positions at certain times.
Form a mathematical model for this system by defining a state space, an action space, and a transition function. Specifically, your model should include:
