Remote Pilotless Vehicle

My project was a Remote Pilotless Vehicle based on a go-kart chassis for us to develop an autonomous kart to better humanity. The kart was able to drive on its on due to onboard GPS, lane detection, and object detection.

The images above showcase the subsystems I created and implemented on the kart. I created a battery monitoring system that was able to report back in real-time the status of the battery with the remaining capacity for both batteries. I also created an ultrasonic subsystem with ultrasonic sensors to create an object detection for the vehicle to be a safety system when driving the kart through a computer or when the kart was in autonomous mode.

My role in this project was to get the wiring in order and to work on the subsystems and the integration of the components with one another. I was in charge of creating the object detection system with the use of ultrasonic sensors and an Arduino which were to be transmitted to our main control via I2C. In addition to the object detection system and aforementioned battery monitoring system, I was in charge of rewiring and minimizing the overall clutter of the kart to be more streamlined.
