Outline

Base station detects the presence of any objectSends the position of the target objectRover moves to the desired destinationIntercepts with the target

Technical DescriptionBase Station

Ultrasonic Sensor measures distance to targetEstimates the range and angle of the target Transmits the XY target coordinates using RF communication

Technical Description

Rover: tracking BotReceives XY coordinates from the base stationReaches the coordinates specifiedDoes a local scan using IR sensorsDetects the object and homes in.

Principles Implemented Real-time Data logging RF Communication Servo Calibration Ultrasonic Ranging and focusing IR sensing Alpha-Beta Estimation Algorithm Tactile sensing using whiskers Implementation of most peripherals used in

previous labs

Applications

Anything that requires 2-D tracking and position & velocity estimation. Examples include:

Enemy Tank Detection Naval Vessel Tracking Sports
