Nexus - Autonomous Robot
Autonomous robot system developed for ECE 5 at UC San Diego with advanced navigation and control systems.
Overview
Autonomous robot system developed for ECE 5 (Intro to ECE) at UC San Diego. Designed and built a robot capable of autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and task completion.
The Challenge
Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments requires real-time sensor processing, path planning, and precise motor control. The robot needed to handle unexpected obstacles while maintaining stable operation and completing assigned tasks within course requirements.
The Solution
Developed embedded control systems using C/C++ for real-time sensor processing and motor control. Implemented control algorithms for precise movement and sensor fusion combining ultrasonic, infrared, and other sensor data. Created navigation algorithms for autonomous path planning and obstacle avoidance.
