  1. Historical Project – P08201 • Vehicle Systems Technology Track, 10 Kg Payload Modular Robot • Goal: Construct a land-based robotic platform. • In this project, the platform was wirelessly controlled. • Used COTS components • Crossbow TelosBMote • IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, 250 kbps data transfer rate, 30 m range • USB port for programming and/or communication • Crossbow MICAz module • 2.4 Ghz Transceiver • IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, 250 kbps data transfer rate, 30 m range • USB port for programming and/or communication • Freescale CSM12D Microcontroller • Six PWM channels, Two for drive motors, Four for steering motors • Twelve digital inputs • Eight encoders • Java and nesC • Total project costs: ~$2500 • Wireless components rather inexpensive

  2. Results • Successes • Wireless vehicle control • Successful wireless control • Each motor module could be controlled individually • Long battery life • Ways to Improve • Display when robot is out of range • Add functionality to obtain feedback from robot • Add PID control to maintain speed during manual operation • Add PID control to maintain position used under autonomous navigation
