A.R.M.O.R.D.
The goal of this project was to develop an inexpensive, yet durable, un-manned ground based vehicle with similar characteristics and capabilities as those found being deployed currently by law-enforcement agencies and military units across the world. By using cost effective development practices and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, we were able to develop the ARMORD system for under $3,000. While not as highly refined as some of the commercially available models, the ARMORD system delivers capabilities on par with most other units, such as video transmission, wireless control, GPS location, and exceptional durability. We have also implemented a state-of-the-art control system that utilizes the Apple iPhone/iTouch as a method of vehicle operation.
