S20: Canster Truck

CAN-STER TRUCK LOGO

Abstract

The CAN-STER Truck Project is an autonomous RC car with CAN Bus interfaced controllers. The development of the R.C car's subsystem modules was divided amongst and performed by six team members. The aim of the project is to develop an autonomous RC Car which can navigate from the source location to a selected destination by avoiding obstacles in its path using sensors and motors.

Introduction

The project was divided into N modules:

• Sensor ...
• Motor..
• ...
• Android
