Project #7: National Instrument Autonomous Robotic Competition

Back

Description:

his is an annual competition in Australia. The aim is to build from scratch an autonomous robot capable of completing the required tasks. Labview and MyRio are to be used and there is no exception since this is a NI sponsored project. This year, we will use what we have learned in 2016 and develop a robust autonomous robot to compete. There will be 6 students to be involved in this competition, with 4 from Mechatronics and 2 from ECE. The 4 students from Mechatronics will be divided into 2 groups with one group to be supervised by Yusuke and the other by me. The group to be supervised by me will be involved with the development of the navigation and obstacle avoidance algorithm into MyRIO using LabView programming. The other group to be supervised by Yusuke will be involved with all hardware aspect of the project, including mechanical, electronics circuits and interfacing with MyRIO.
Students should have a visa free passport to travel to Australia in September 2017.
