Abstract

The project is an autonomous car that shall avoid obstacles. The car will consist of five SJ One controllers connected and communicating via one operational CAN bus. Each controller shall be handled by teams of two people per component and integrated to 1 working autonomous car. The Master Controller team shall be responsible for collecting data from the other controllers and guiding the car using high-level logic. The Motor I/O Controller team shall be responsible for the operation of the motors and operation of the LCD display, which will display debugging or current status messages. The Sensor Controller team shall be responsible for collecting data from the sonar sensor and sending the appropriate data. The Geographical Controller team shall be responsible for calculating the orientation of the car. The Bluetooth/Bridge Controller team shall be responsible for the interface to the end user and sending the way-points. All of these five devices shall operate simultaneously and reach the requested destination.

Objectives & Introduction

  • The user shall be able to set a longitude/latitude using an Android app
  • The user shall be able to send a Start command to start the navigation routine
  • The car shall avoid obstacles and navigate appropriately around them
  • The car shall contain sensors in the front and back to go forward and backward without intervention
  • The car shall reach the destination before the battery dies
  • The car shall contain a GPS and compass to calculate the heading, longitude, and latitude
  • The car shall contain a Bluetooth device to receive information from the Android App
  • The car shall contain appropriate sensors to internally calculate the speed of the car
  • The car shall be able to adjust it's speed appropriately when commanded by the Master controller
  • The car shall display appropriate information on the LCD display

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.
