Synopsis:
This project see the design and development of an autonomous transporter that can transport a person with a payload in an indoor space. It meets a growing need for personal transportation in public places such as via electric powered scooters or hoverboards.
It also meets the demand for personal transportation in indoor facilities where a vehicle can navigate and move to a specified destination. Path planning and collision avoidance ensures that the vehicle travels safely to a destination in a specified
time frame.
Description:
The project features autonomous navigation and control, where the transporter can move to a pick up point upon remote request and transport the user to a selected destination. It incorporates navigation and anti collision sensors to cater for static
and human traffic and allows for autonomous and manual driver control. The project is carried out in several phases to incorporate the various levels of autonomous control and applications.
