Autonomous Carrier Assistant


Project Description:

In today’s world of modern technology life is becoming more and more automated. Conserving energy has been a human trait since the days of hunter gatherers. Our laziness has brought about ingenious ways to get things done. This project is derived from this concept. Why carry something when you can just make something to do it for you. The A.C.A. will be designed to carry your belonging for you and give you the ability to conserve your energy. This project creates an autonomous robot which leads and follows the user with obstacle avoidance and it also will have a joystick function for when the GPS connection is low, it is versatile and efficient as well as being low cost to both produce and sell on the market. The hardware and software chosen to complete this project were all extensively researched to produce the most cost-efficient product to go to market.
