2. Project Overview Autonomous Wheeled Vehicle
Navigate, track, and follow targets
Wirless communication to enter waypoints
Atom board with Wi-Fi
Use GPS to navigate and determine current location
Avoid obstacles using a sonic range finder
Improved precision movements
Wheel encoders, compass, accelerometer, ‘dead reckoning’
Webcam feature
Used to focus on targets
In absence of GPS, users will click a target that the robot will navigate to
