  2. Project Description Background: ● Major car manufacturers working toward adoption of autonomous vehicles. ● RIT (Dr. Ptucha) would like to be on the forefront of this technology. ● Existing Senior Design project(s) o Phase A (ongoing, completion Spring 2015)  Conversion of cart to remote control o Phase B (ongoing, completion Fall 2016)  Limited Autonomous Functionality  Separate CE team working concurrently with MSD team

  3. Project Description (Gap) ● Our starting point assumes that Phase B is successfully completed. ● We will create the PRP for Phase C. ● Gap: o Current (Phase B completion): Cart that can navigate from Unity (Pi) Quad to Infinity Quad under tightly controlled conditions with stationary obstacles. o Desired (Phase C completion): Cart that can navigate from Unity (Pi) Quad to Infinity Quad under controlled conditions with moving obstacles. ● Ultimate Goal: Use of the cart as a learning tool and to advertise the university to potential students.

  4. Key Stakeholders ● DPL Team & Guide (Mike B.) ● Dr. Ptucha ● RIT o institution o students o faculty ● MSD Teams o current o future

  5. Current State of the Art Research Areas ● Google Patents ● Online articles Current Autonomous vehicles (benchmarking) ● Google Car ● Carnegie Mellon Car ● Automatic parking and cruise control systems ● Roomba ● Magnet-guided vehicles

  6. Project Goals For Phase C The Autonomous Car Should: Navigate “in the wild” from Unity Quad (Pi Quad) to Infinity - Quad - Have safety systems integrated - Sensors to tell if objects are in the way including short range radar, long range radar, lidar, front vision, omni vision, and stereo vision - Birds eye map that tracks the movement of people and position of cart on campus - Use of redundant systems to minimize problems

  7. Customer Requirements (Weighted)

  8. Setbacks / Next Steps Setbacks ● Ambiguous current state o Overlapping of senior design projects o Resolution with Dr. Ptucha ● Costs Next Steps ● Continue stakeholder interviews ● Use feedback from this presentation ● Preparation for VOE
