Motivation:

§

The purpose of this project is the implementation of GPS devices for navigation of mobile robots. With the use of different methods and equipments, the final result aims at achieving a high level of accuracy for outdoor robot navigations as well as wide range of data communication between mobile robots and a main station.

Objectives:
 

The objective is to design a Differential GPS-based outdoor navigation of autonomous robots. 

 

Technical Approach:
 

A Sensor fusion need to be considered for Autonomous Robot navigation (video, 2-D scanner laser, sonar, optical encoders, compass, and Differential GPS) to increase the accuracy level of the mobile robots.

Implement an analysis tool to coordinate between multiple robots, to plan their paths, navigate, and send command to do tasks.
Build several paths with different tasks to be achieved, simulating the available Andros and other robots to test the feasibility and real-time coordination capabilities of the enabled DGPS mobile robots in an outdoor situation
