Problem Statement:

• Make the bot in CoppeliaSim follow a perfect square path, starting and stopping at the same spot such that the robot traces a square and ends where it began.
• Use the Files from below and Follow Perfect Square.

Prerequistes:

• Use the 3.1) CoppeliaSim guide from the Learn section to get comfortable with the interface, and set up the Python remote API before attempting the upcoming Taks.

Setup

• Download the provided files from the Drive Link:
  • Drive Link : Task0_files
  • .ttt scene file (CoppeliaSim environment with square path)
  • bridge.exe / bridge(Python file for communication between your Code and CoppeliaSim)(.exe for Windows and File without Extension For ubuntu.)
  • Boilerplate task0.py file (where you'll write your logic)

Steps to Start the task

1. Open CoppeliaSim and load the provided .ttt scene file

2. Run the bridge in a separate terminal:

    ./bridge.exe
   

   OR

   ./bridge
   

3. Write your square path logic in the provided task0.py file inside the control_loop() function. This is the only function you need to edit, all your movement and turning logic should go inside this function.

4. Run your Python program:

   python task0.py
   

Success looks like

• Robot starts at a corner, moves forward one side length, turns 90°, repeats 4 times.
• Robot stops exactly where it started (closing the loop).
• Smooth motion, no sudden jumps.

Great, now you are very familiar with CoppeliaSim!
