- Abstract
- PDF Full Text
This project aims to design a low-cost 2. Sensors Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), a robotic vehicle that can be controlled remotely without any on-board human presence. The UGV is also able to move autonomously while automatically detecting and avoiding obstacles. A microcontroller has been used as the brain of the vehicle altogether which includes other components such as Ultrasonic and Infrared sensors, webcam, batteries, power bank, motor controller, and a PS Controller. Few practical applications of the UGV are autonomous wheelchairs for handicapped persons which allow them to move around independently and autonomously without any human support. There are various places where this idea can be easily used which includes untapped indoor commercial markets such as malls, hotels, banks, nursing homes, hospitals, offices, stores, schools, museums, etc.. The proposed idea aims at making a UGV specifically for military purposes and catering to the harmful environment and geological barriers.
