Knight Sweeper is an autonomous vehicle designed to detect any metallic objects and avoid obstacles during its route of navigation. Once detection occurs the vehicle is designed to identify region of detection and avoid collision with the actual metallic object or obstacle in its way. Knight Sweeper will be able to operate in a manual mode as well as in autonomous mode.  The project itself uses various hardware components to achieve its overall task. These components are GPS module, compass module, serial camera, wireless RF module, ultrasonic sensors, and metal detecting circuit.

Knight Sweeper 4200 was funded by Work Force Central Florida and we were mentored by Ryan Reis, a Systems Test Engineer with Lockheed Martin Missles and Fire Control in Orlando Florida.
