Control Group 2Final Presentation HLC 2 (Here’sLookin’at youChen!)
Introduction • Successful completion of the course • Software architecture • Proprietary technologies • Problems encountered • Future considerations • Race highlights
We Rule. • We rock, we roll... • We love robots.
Proprietary Technologies • Expansion of LADAR data • Applied once to compensate for vehicle width • Applied a second time to maintain a safe distance from obstacles • Sensor fusion and filtering • GPS data used to find current position • Gyroscope used to find current heading • “Speed Zones” • Dynamically adjust speed in the presence of obstacles
Problems Encountered • Noise in the GPS • Track on Ground • Determination of Heading • Track on Ground, Odometry, Gyro • Modifications to speed and turn rate • Slowed down to prevent skipping over waypoints
Future Considerations • Virtual Boundary Checking • Store map of the surrounding environment • Incorporate GPS track on ground calibration with INS information • Forward Path Planning
