Project
Overview
·
The AutoKnight is a small-scale autonomous vehicle that can
be utilized for testing in UCF’s Networked Systems Lab research. The
inception of this ongoing project involved creating a model in which the user
is able to remotely control the vehicle’s actions in maneuverability as well
as integrating a variety of sensors that will enable autonomous
functionality. The AutoKnight is able to
autonomously navigate through various environments using a stereo-camera
paired with computer vision algorithms for lane following, ultrasonic sensors
for collision avoidance, and a LiDAR module for mapping at low speeds. The AutoKnight’s robust processing hardware and software
structures enable the user to both gather data while the vehicle is in motion
and issue respective commands; this allows for future iterations of this
project to delve into advanced neural networking between units and ultimately
create a system of autonomous vehicular communication. The Engineers Group 30
