Team Radiation Attack Tank Gamma Ray Vivek Kuppurajan and Ashwin Leo UTA Engineering Summer Camp 6/10/11
Control tanks from a distance using only a computer and a camera!
Outline • Objectives: Save people from a nuclear meltdown using unmanned tanks. • Analysis: Using certain programs, we must learn to use unique commands and control tanks from a distance. • Results: Lots of practice should allow us to complete the project quickly and successfully.
Objectives • We will be completing a course using unmanned tanks. • In the course, we’ll have to save people from a nuclear crisis with a limited amount of time, and pick up bonus points along the way. • We’ll have to control the tanks from a distance using only a computer program and a camera.
Introduction • We were introduced to a computer program, called the Fourth, that allows us to move the tanks using certain commands. • By learning these commands, such as go-distance, spin, and straight-line motion, and becoming familiar with the program, we’ll be able to complete the course. • The same process is used to control unmanned tanks from a base and rovers on the moon or other planets.
Overcoming the Odds • People are trapped in the debris of a nuclear meltdown, and we must use an existing AVL tank to rescue them. • The only available navigation is through a non-adjustable camera. • The AVL must follow a certain path, or risk being damaged. (endangering lives…) • Goal: to rescue as many people as possible (including in the danger zone) and find helpful information concerning the meltdown.
Results • Using mathematics, we have found constants adjusting the speed and rotations of the AVL treads. • Using Ktsf and Ktpi, we adjusted the tanks to finish the mission in the least time possible. • Using a program called Fourth, we control the tank from a distance.
Analysis of Results • We will accomplish our goals through teamwork and many hours of preparation. • The constants, Ktsf and Ktpi, shows us the best possible fit for the tank that accomplishes the goal.
Conclusion • This advanced technology will save many lives. • Based on the success of the prototypes, we believe the full-scale models will also be successful.
