Smart Sensors

Created on 27 Nov 2015

Low-cost sensor integration!

We will design a self-driving steering system that will navigate and complete a set course (for example, the Buggy course or a race track) under varying conditions. This project achieves this by getting position and heading from different sensors and then, with an end point in mind, applying the data to a PID controller. The system will include a personal computer, a microcontroller, multiple sensors, a steering mechanism, and a braking mechanism.
