NJAV Goals |
|
1) Improve the design and implementation of the 2008 vehicle.
2) Have a working vehicle by the End of December 2009.
3) Have an optimal vehicle by the beginning of May 2010.
4) Take 1st in the 2010 IGVC Competition. |

Project Progress |
This section we will post Meeting minutes week to
week. As progress of the NJAV progresses some design
pictures and possibly schematics of the different
systems will be present in this section as well.
We plan to closely monitor the progress of the
autonomous vehicle through this website and share it
with whom ever is interested.

NJAV Updates |
|
09/18/09 -
Time line of work progress was created and
is being used as a guide to complete the project. Recovery
of last years vehicle and expense reports completed.
09/27/09 - Hardware
architecture of the old vehicle was completed and analyzed.
The hardware architecture was unsatisfactory, so a rebuild is
required.
10/16/09 - Preliminary Drawings were
constructed by the Mechanicals for a new chassis. The
Electrical engineer designed a universal power box where the
voltage from the batteries will be inputted and various voltages
will be outputted to supply the vehicle with all the power
required. The wireless e-stop is wired directly into the
circuitry of the power box. The Computer Engineer has
began testing each component to develop code and draw data.
10/30/09 - The circuitry for the power
box has been created and soldered but the actual housing has not
been constructed although it has been designed. Progress
for the collection of data has been moving forward and there are
few components left to gather data from. Mechanicals are
now furthering their original design to include a more stable
camera mount.
