Self Driving Car

For my Cornerstone of Engineering class, I worked with a team of students to build a self-navigating vehicle with alcohol and ultrasound sensors to navigate towards an alcohol source.

Simulation

For the project, our team was not only required to model the vehicle in Solidworks (see above), but also to simulate the design using MATLAB. The team thought this extra step would be unnecessary, but was proven wrong when our simulations led us to improve a design from this:

before_matlab

to this:

after_matlab

Here are some screenshots of my Arduino Program:
