Overview of Presentation• Brief overview of our project. • The problem that we are addressing.• Our implementation of the solution.• Cost break-down• What we plan for demo day. • Demonstration

The Problem• Reconnaissance is always important for the military and
search and rescue teams.• With importance of human lives, robots are a perfect
replacement.• Solution would be something small, and expendable.
SDP 2009 Team Siqueira
Our Solution• Robotic platform capturing information about its
surroundings• Wireless communication link will transfer data back to
PDA or laptop• Transferred data is then used to construct a 2-D bird's
eye view of the environment

• Initial concerns were going straight• Had issues with both DC motors outputting the same• Found that motor 1 has problems with speeds from 0-
30• Added a digital compass to our system • Found method of calibrating and correcting heading
