Introduction For our final project, we re-engineered a remote control car to autonomously navigate through a track by detecting lanes and centering itself between them as well as detect objects in front of it and avoid collision. The RC car detects lanes through image input from a low-resolution camera mounted at its front. Using an […]

Introduction In a Nutshell Our ECE 4760 final project was a car made of K’NEX that follows a LED strip. What We Did For this project we made a K’NEX car that follows a path made by a LED strip. We used two phototransistors to detect the lights from the LED, while considering ambient light.

Introduction We created an RC Car that can identify a parking space and parallel park by itself. The RC Car drives down a street searching for a parking space to its right using a distance sensor. When the car has identified a space, the car checks to see whether that space is large enough to

Introduction Our project is a hand-held device that is capable of communicating with any vehicle that uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) data-link layer. Such devices are commonly referred to as On-Board Diagnostic scanners. Vehicles that typically fall into this category are Fords made between 1996 and 2007. In our case, we used a 2003 Ford Mustang

INTRODUCTION In our final design project for ECE 476: Microcontrollers, we decided to build a vehicle controlled, using accelerometers, by a remote control that wirelessly transmits, using RF technology, data to the vehicle to move in any direction. The accelerometers will be mounted on a steering wheel shaped remote control, such that if the user

Introduction Are you afraid that your brand new Hummer is going to get scratched while parking it in a tight space? Do you have trouble backing your large Mercedez S-class into your small garage? Fear no more! Our ultrasonic ParKontroller can sense how far you are away from the wall or a hidden object behind

Introduction The SearchBot is a fully functional model car that can be controlled wirelessly through the PC or autonomously search for red balls scattered on a flat surface. Autonomous vehicles are just now being realized in labs around the world and will soon have major military and commercial potential. The Adaptive Communications and Signals Processing

Introduction Cooler-Bot is an autonomous vehicle that uses ultrasonic transducers to sense distance and direction to a remote ultrasonic mobile unit that it is designed to follow. Our original goal was to design a vehicle that would carry a beverages for the user and follow them at a distance of about 1m around the Atmel
