Jonas Cleveland will design and construct a small autonomous vehicle to be a testbed for sensors, embedded systems, and software for safety and control in automotive driving under both manual and autonomous control. During this semester, Jonas will complete the construction of the mechanical structure for the autonomous vehicle, including a working electrical system and motor-control system. Additionally, Jonas will develop the hardware and software to couple the lidar, sonar, and sensory systems to the central control units.
The specific objectives of the project include:
