Simple 2D Robot Simulator Project

Project Overview

This project is a simple 2D simulation of robots in a bounded rectangular environment with obstacles. It features autonomous and remotely controlled robots that navigate around square obstacles, avoiding collisions and responding to user inputs. Placement of obstacles and robots can be set interactively in the GUI, saved to a file and loaded from a file. Obstacles and robots can be removed by clicking on them with mouse.
