Abstract

The aim of this project is to design and implement a low cost Autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle (AUGV), a vehicle that can be controlled remotely without an onboard human presence. The AUGV is also able to move autonomously while automatically detecting and avoiding obstacles. The vehicle also reads directions from QR codes, calculates the shortest path to its destination and autonomous move towards its final destination. A Raspberry Pi 3 has been used as the brain of the vehicle together with other components such as DC and Servo motors, Ultrasonic and Infrared sensors, webcam, batteries, power bank, motor controller and a smartphone. Python, Java and PHP have been used to implement the prototype which currently focusses on indoor navigation. There exists several potential practical applications of the UAGV such as an autonomous wheel chair for handicapped persons allowing them to move around autonomously without relying on any other persons. The idea can be extended to fit into the untapped indoor commercial market such as malls, hotels, banks, nursing homes, hospitals, offices, stores, schools, museums and many more.

一种低成本的自主无人地面车辆

该项目的目的是设计和实现一种低成本的自主无人地面车辆(AUGV)，这种车辆可以在没有人员在场的情况下进行远程控制。AUGV还能够在自动探测和避开障碍物的同时自主移动。自动驾驶汽车还能从二维码中读取方向，计算出到达目的地的最短路径，并自动驶向最终目的地。树莓派3与直流和伺服电机、超声波和红外传感器、网络摄像头、电池、充电宝、电机控制器和智能手机等其他部件一起被用作汽车的大脑。使用Python、Java和PHP来实现原型，目前主要用于室内导航。UAGV有几个潜在的实际应用，比如为残疾人设计一个自主轮椅，让他们在不依赖任何其他人的情况下自主移动。这个想法可以扩展到未开发的室内商业市场，如商场、酒店、银行、养老院、医院、办公室、商店、学校、博物馆等等。
