Autonomous Two-Dimensional Path planning of a Differential Drive Robot

Developer @e-YAntra, IITB
  • Designed a differential drive robot to pick objects and drop it to a line following robot having no communication with either PC or any other robot using feedback from camera placed at ceiling height
  • Differential drive robot was made from scratch using quadrature encoder motors, an arm mechanism , Xbee module and high torque motors
  • Pose estimation of the robot using ArUco markers mounted on themm
  • Utilization of Remote API (Python) in V-REP for real-time emulation and non-holonomic path planning of the robot in real world
  • Implementation of PD controller to maneuver the robot through the estimated path
  • This project was later converted to one of the theme/Problem statement in e-YRC'17
