  2. Contents • What do we want to Accomplish? • Problem Statement • Background • Design Specifications • Goals • Testing/Implementation • Estimated Budget • Project Timeline

  3. What do we want to Accomplish? • Use Kingsbury as a testing ground • Remote control car into UGV • Control UGV over WIFI • UGV Sense Environment • Video Streaming

  4. Problem Statement • First Response • Personnel Safety • Rescue attempts • Enter and Exit Strategies

  5. Background • Remote Controlled Toy Hummer • UGV – Unmanned Ground Vehicle • Military operations • Gather information about environment • User can control/observe situations from a distance • User can analyze the data from the UGV to create a well planned entry and exit strategy

  6. Background • Disable RF Connection • Internet is Everywhere • Why WiFi Connection? • More Accessible • Longer Range • Simpler implementation scheme for video transmission

  7. Design Objectives Ideas to maintain throughout project • Power Management • Transmission and Receiving • Migration Issues • Bandwidth Usage Why won’t you connect?!

  8. Goals There are two tiers of goals for this project: • Deliverable Goals • Reach Goals

  9. Goals - Deliverables • Control with WiFi • Adding on-board sensors for obstacle and relative motion detection • Implement video streaming capabilities

  10. Goals - Reach • Autonomous movement • Elevator Accessibility • Audio Streaming • Laptop Power • Storage (Client and On-Device)

  11. Testing/ImplementationImplementation Problems • Control API • Onboard PC containing software control interface (Control API) interfaced to a Microcontroller through RS-232. Microcontroller is interfaced to vehicle motors via an H-Bridge and to steering servo via microcontroller PWM output. • Remote Control • Onboard PC supporting WIFI. PC runs server software allowing client software on remote PCs to connect and access the features of the Control API.

  12. Testing/ImplementationImplementation Problems • Odometry • Optical Mouse • Mapping Physical Environment • Sonic Rangefinders • Automation • Onboard PC server software with added automation wrapper for the Control API with features accessible to connected client software.
