GPS-Guided Robot

Posted on Mar 2, 08 09:46 PM PDT

Now here's a neat looking DIY project, putting your Magellan GPS navigation system to different use, by integrating it into a robot.

Robots traverse a pre-defined course dealing with various obstacles along the way. Waypoints may be marked with objects that the robot must touch or come within a specified distance. The robots will be guided primarily by GPS and vision systems. Robots will be fully autonomous, but do not necessarily have to be self contained, i.e. it is ok to have a laptop with a wireless or even wired link to the robot.

Sounds like a totally innovative remote controlled robot to toy around with!
