Project to Develop a Fully Autonomous Vehicle for a Field Environment

2. Current status
Mechanical assembly of axle modules and chassis is complete
Some PCBs have to be manufactured
Computer system is running
CAN networking has been established
Next 5 weeks before Field Robot Event
Finishing critical programming
Testing on our own field
Tuning parameters

3. Problems and Challenges
Time management
Coordinating work between a large group is challenging
Tasks may take longer to complete than expected -> accumulated delay
Problems may arise even very late in development
Unfamiliar technology
Even very simple things may take a while to learn and master

4. Progress in Images
Axle module with wheel modules. Wiring missing from picture.
Central electronics board. All electronics, apart from the Local UI and the Cut-off circuits, are installed on a single piece of polycarbonate for easy access and maintenance.
