Mobile Robot
This is a multifaceted project that involves mechanics, electronics,
computers and math! The goals are the following -
- Learn to use the PIC line of microcontrollers.
- Learn to interface with sensors such as gyros, rangefinders and
thermometers.
- Setup an embedded linux system with no moving parts and interface it
using serial port to control DC motors and read input from sensors.
- Build a mobile platform that will carry the computer, batteries and
sensors.
- Mount a USB camera on robot and allow remote control operation using
802.11 wireless networking.
- Implement algorthms to allow for autonomous navigation.
