Project Goals

  • Fun
  • Learning Value
  • Mini Mobile Vehicle

    Possibilities

    Base System: (Challenging)
  • (get a basic, but not too basic kit from a hobby store)
  • wheels, motor, base, batteries, microprocessor
  • go forward, stop
  • go forward, turn, comeback

    Navigation: (Advanced)
  • programmed navigation
  • radio signal control

    Intelligent Navigation: (Complex)
  • sensor + microprocessor control system

    Path Mapping: (Highly Complex)
  • path mapping (wireless communication) circuitry required
  • interfacing PC and circuitry is difficult
  • Visual Basic or JAVA User Interface

    Camera Mount Navigation: (Extremely Complex)
  • mount a camera onto the vehicle and control the vehicle from the PC
