ESP - Environmental Surveying Platform

The concept for our project is in the scope of all the vehicles mentioned in the previous section. Our team aimed to design a vehicle capable of semi-autonomous driving and navigation with a feature rich GUI for statistics and control. This vehicle has an abundance of sensors on it to gather data about the surrounding environment. These sensors include: temperature sensors, humidity sensors, oxygen sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, ultraviolet sensors, particulate matter sensors, volatile organic compound sensors, ozone sensors, light sensors, ultrasonic (proximity) sensors, and a Kinect for object detection. This data will aid in the study of the condition of the environment, and also give us insight to the habitability of the areas the vehicle traversed.
