The JPL Open Source Rover is an open source, build it yourself, scaled down version of the 6 wheel rover design that JPL uses to explore the surface of Mars. The Open Source Rover is designed almost entirely out of consumer off the shelf (COTS) parts. This project is intended to be a teaching and learning experience for those who want to get involved in mechanical engineering, software, electronics, or robotics. JPL is always looking to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers,...

...Logical architecture: Project has several layers, each aiming to a higher level of abstraction: - Level one: The servo control and the sensor reading. - Level two: The throttle and steering control. - Level three: The pre-programmed maneuver engine. - Level four: The pilot. The pilot takes decisions based on the sensors, and executes maneuvers in sequences. Technical architecture - PIC18F as micro-controllers. - Multithreading is achieved via I2C bus. - Microchip's XC18 used for the initial coding. Long term objective: In the future, a ARD platform may be added, to implement more sophisticated pilot, sensors (camera, image recognition, etc).

Control software for autonomous mobile robot with differential steering.

Have you ever tried to control a self developed vehicle with your PC? This Project provides a GUi Controll, the schematics for the on board electroninc (including the xbee host) and the atmega 32 / 644 / 2550 software to get things work together.
