Autonomous Snowblower
PubblicoThe purpose of this project is to research and develop a system to autonomously clear a specified area of snow. The resultant system includes a modified snowblower, a base station, and a computer application to monitor and define the area for the snowblower to clear. A high precision GPS is equipped on both the snowblower and the base station to provide accurate location data. The snowblower is additionally equipped with a LIDAR sensor for obstacle detection in the snow, as well as a microcontroller to run embedded software and interface with the computer application. The team faced many design challenges and learned a substantial amount through the implementation of the research they conducted.
