Team 18Dan Breuker Jon Cory Matt Edwards Kyle Israels  Outline What Why How Design Alternatives What Autonomous vehicle which can navigate through a maze Maze is flat (indoors) and has no false ends Car will drive between two walls and stop when it approaches a wall in the front Why Create a prototype for future groups to expand upon Spark an interest for future competition Investigate possible uses in military or commercial applications How Sensors will be mounted on front and sides of car to detect distance to nearest obstacle On-board processor will receive information from sensors and adjust motors accordingly Design Alternatives Sensors: Photo Laser Echolocation Design Alternatives Steering system Rack and pinion Individual wheel speed control Design Alternatives Stop/Start procedure Button on car Remote control Stop on combination of front and side obstacles Next Steps Investigate each design alternative Develop budget Create schedule Summary of Project Develop a car which can drive itself through an indoor maze Document project for future improvements and expansion * * /images/ photosensor.jpeg www.ivo.de/bilder/gle2g.jpg /images/ rackandpinion.jpg * * *
