Notes:
Smart Sensors for Autonomous Robots

The Smart Sensors for Autonomous Robots project was a year long team oriented design project to develop a general system to automate a non-autonomous robotic platform.

The main thrust of the project was development of a smart sensor network made of smart sensor modules connected with a high speed serial rs-485 network. Each module served as a universal sensor interface and did sensor data preprocessing before sending the data to the master processor. The master processor did simple path planning and transmitted a direction command to the remote control system already present on the robotic platform.

The project was successful. The systems was furthered by a group who added GPS to the robot.
