Autonomous System Kit for Utility Task Vehicle (UTV)

Introduction

In the land vehicles domain, the so-called Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are highly useful due to their high load capacity, robustness, and armor. Newly designed UGVs represent a significant investment and are generally designed solely as robots, meaning they do not allow for onboard human driving. The logical alternative is to use existing vehicles, such as UTVs and convert them into unmanned vehicles.

Product

The Autonomous System Kit aims to reduce the cost of deploying UGVs by using existing vehicles. The Kit contains servomotors, sensors and an onboard computer that can be installed ad-hoc in a vehicle, enabling the use of said vehicle without a human driver.

Specifications

• Autonomous navigation: point-to-point and waypoint, follow-me, return-to-home

• Obstacle detection: detection and avoidance of static and dynamic obstacles in route.

• Mapping: 3D LIDAR and camera map
