ADVANCED ROBOTICS
at UTSA
Rover
Objective
The objective of this project is to create an open-source rover that can travel around UTSA's campus with ease. The rover will be controlled preferably remotely at a control station. Some purposes the rover has is to show cool tech at tabling events and sponsors. Secondly, the rover will prepare students to compete in the University Rover Challenge.
Computer Science
The Computer Science section of the project will develop a UI that shows the system's statistics and do autonomous stuff.
​Tools: Python and ROS
Electrical Engineering
The Electrical Engineering section of the project will determine the best components to support the autonomous operations of the system and long range communication.
Mechanical Engineering
The Mechanical Engineering section of the project will construct the rover and stress test it.
Tools: Solidworks and fusion360
