Robot Exploration Simulation

This project was developed as a course project in 2021 to learn object-oriented programming in C++ at EPFL. It was completed in a group of two and simulates the deployment, exploration, and resource gathering by autonomous robots. The robots are tasked with mapping an area, identifying resources, and establishing a communication network.

Key Features

• Robot Deployment: Robots are deployed in orthogonal directions (N, E, S, W) from the base. Communication robots support prospecting robots by extending their range.
• Resource Gathering: Prospecting robots identify resource deposits, triggering the creation of specialized robots for extraction and transport.
• Communication Network: Communication robots establish a network to keep prospecting robots connected to the base.
• Robustness: Adaptive strategies allow robots to explore diverse directions to maximize coverage and efficiency.

Compilation and Execution
