Campus Model Design Project: Generic Landscape Simulation with Vehicles & Robotic Structures

Senior design project overview including needs assessment, concept development, analysis & synthesis, detailed design, challenges/risks, and design objectives. Students aim to create a physical scale model of a landscape with vehicles and robotic structures to simulate human and vehicular motion. The project covers video processing, algorithm testing, and feasibility assessments for vehicles and robotic structures. The detailed design includes partitions, buildings, tracks, vehicles, controls, and power supply. Challenges include structure size, motion, fragility, and durability.
