ABSTRACT
Autonomous and semiautonomous robots have made their impact felt in industry for the past 20-30 years. More recently, the technology has been applied to vehicles in an attempt to create the autonomous car. Although hardware and software has been steadily advancing there have still been very few car projects to achieve complete autonomy and none to achieve commercial viability.
This project is based on semi-autonomous car concept, controlled by the host computer in wireless mode. The wireless controller is based on Radio Frequency and the direction to the car is made by host computer manually. In this project, the precise communication between the host computer and the car is the major concern. The directions like turn right, turn left is to be followed by the model car. The movement of the car can be controlled more precisely and also the movements can be recorded or repeated. A variety of algorithm and technique can be developed for the stability and performance in this platform. This project can be developed as a platform for the semi-autonomous car and as a complete autonomous in near future. The performances of the model car under the noise conditions are to be determined and the hardware and software limitations are also to be analyzed.
