Project Overview
Initially the goal of our project was to design an autonomous vehicle that would utilize sensors to detect and gather tennis balls in one area to facilitate collecting them after each set. Due to COVID-19, the scope of our project was pivoted to create a ROS package that enables the RoboCar to detect and follow the yellow lines on the racetrack. The RoboCar uses RGB sensors to read the yellow lines and compute a centroid value that it follows.
Hardware
- Jetson Nano Developer Kit - Adafruit PCA9685 - 16bit PWM controller - USB webcam - High power LEDs - 11.1V 3S LiPo battery - Battery voltage sensor - 433MHz remote relay - 12V-5V DC-DC voltage converter
The car our team used is built around a Traxxas Ford Fiesta chassis containing a DC motor, electronic speed controller and servo motor.
