The name might be a bit fancy but this UGV is quite simple with the only difference being that it contained four high torque motors powered by a single dual driver motor driver circuit. Initially, we used two driver circuits but then we shifted to one. It was powered by a Li-Po battery but all tests were conducted using an SMPS. The UGV was controlled by a WPF application with the name of universal remote controller. This UGV was also fitted with a camera with an operating frequency of 5.8 GHz. The UGV was also wireless using a 2.4 GHz RF module. Let's have a look at the hardware required apart from the Intel Edison:
- 30 cm by 30 cm chassis(1)
- 10 cm diameter wheels(4)
- High torque motors 300 RPM 12V(4)
- 20A dual motor driver(1)
- RF 2.4 GHz USB link(1)
- RF 2.4 GHz Serial link(1)
- Li-Po battery (minimum voltage supply: 12V; maximum current drawn: 3-4A)
