Project Description

Mobility is a key factor in industry. The autonomous micro Segway would allow a person to travel without needing to leave their office or even their house. The goal of the project is to be able to have an autonomous Segway travel through a building. The Segway will have a mobile device attached to it to allow a person to FaceTime with the device and therefore able to communicate with the outside world. The most difficult problem will be figuring out the control systems and be able to balance the Segway. The Segway will use several proximity sensors and an accelometer for movement and to control balance. The project will use two different microcontrollers. One will be used for ease of connection to internet while the other will be used for sensor and motor control.

Deliverables:

1.) Automatic Balance

2.) Dynamic movement

3.)Facetime Implementation

4.) GPS Navigation
