ABSTRACT: ECE 477 Team Autonomous Rescue Vehicle Presented by Vipul Bhat Our team’s goal is to build a prototype of a robot that can autonomously find a person lost in challenging circumstances and lead him or her back to a safe location. The starting location of the robot will be considered the safe location for our purposes.

Packaging Constraints Traverse rugged terrain Lightweight and Sturdy Room for PCB and off chip peripherals Minimize cost Looks cool
