Autonomous Robotic ATV - Phase 1 - "RC vehicle" (Hi-def)

[stiquitojmconrad]

FYI, there is an IEEE paper with details - "Components of an autonomous all-terrain vehicle" at SoutheastCon 2010. If you have access to IEEE Xplore, you can get the paper for free (universities typically have this). Sorry, due to copyright law I cannot send you a free copy.

To clear up a few comments. It is not autonomous in this video, but we are working toward that. We use a linear actuator for the breaks and a servo for the throttle. The ATV has gears, but we are not shifting because we only need to be going about 3 MPH. The ATV came with an electric motor for power steering assist, which we use for the steering. The LIDAR is taking data, but the data is not being used to control the robot. This is all tied together with a Renesas microcontroller (QSK62P Kit).

how did you do it

[string338]

the guy has a helmet on hahahaha

Absolutely no sensing of environment and no traversing.

Other than driving slow around a vacant parking lot, must have taken some time, so good effort

[kandg30]

it dont have gears its auto matic

[vortex812]

its not automatic.

[djnemesis82pluss1877]

USE A PS050 SERVO TO SHIFT GEARS

thats a recon

I can see this thing in some future battlefield supporting infantry soldiers by carrying supplies beside them. This is awesome.

Good Job !!!

[namezryan]

can it go faster like others?!

[vortex812]

they probably havent set up the servo to shift yet.

I think this is the coolest thing ever. Whatever school is doing this should geet more funding and really get this thing sick. Maybe take it on some sweet jumps or put some sweet pegs on it.

[lcreloaded]

put like a crash dummy on it, or a blow up doll lol

[mckinneyengineering]

A bunch of these on the road would be cool. Can you make them deliver stuff?

[mckinneyengineering]

OK, it's a big remote control vehicle. Now make it autonomous.
