Key Features:
Autonomous driving:
- Programmed a PD controller in C++ for autonomous navigation on STM32 Micro-controller
- Soldered phototransistor circuits for a reflection sensor to navigate following black tape on a white floor
- Infrared sensor circuits captured infrared signals from different beacons
Object detection and sensing:
- Designed and soldered bandpass filter for distinguishing infrared signal frequencies
- Wired sonar sensors to detect treasures
- Hall-effect sensors scanned treasures to detect magnetic fields for false treasures
Claw & treasure capturing:
- Double rack-and-pinion claw mount powered by stepper motor for placement and servo motor for grabbing motion
