Smart UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle)

Abstract

Due to advancement in next generation technologies, humans are being replaced by computers and robots. Thus, there is a need to automate life so that the user can take advantage of the technological advancements. GPS provides a perfect mechanism to reach pre-marked destinations through efficient satellite tracking system. In our project “Smart Unmanned Ground Vehicle”, the vehicle moves from one set of coordinates to another by using GPS, while keeping track of its direction through an electronic compass. Along its path ultrasonic sensors are used to detect any hurdles, which are then automatically avoided through an intelligent algorithm by altering the vehicle’s path. A Bluetooth module is also used to obtain coordinates of the vehicle and control it continuously in real time. This project can be a good solution for intra organization transportation in big corporations, airports, universities etc.
