01 Problem

Integrating the Software (Autonomous system) and the Hardware and establishing the communication between them. Controlling the hardware specifically the Steering, wheel, and brake with the software input will be the task.

02 Approach

SBW – Steer by wire: Using the nema34 motor and driver to control the motor with the given input.

DBW – Drive by wire: Using the Motenergy ME1718 motor and VESC driver for driving the vehicle.

Micro-ROS – Using the low-level controller (Rpi picco) with the help of micro-ROS, the data is transferred between drivers and computers.

03 Solution

By integrating SBW, DBW, and micro-ROS with the help of the low-level controllers, the autonomous system is implemented.
