Autonomous vehicle

The main goal of this research is to design an autonomous vehicle that can follow any object that it is trained to follow, while giving a live feed of its surroundings to observers. The design of the autonomous vehicle is accomplished by modifying a small scale manually controlled go-kart with motors, electronics and cameras. This thesis concentrates on hardware development for the autonomous vehicle. The hardware development included design of supporting parts, selection and connection of motors, cameras, wiring the circuit board and all components, adding new features to the car, mounting gears and steering, circuits, and also software development for functioning of the car, coding and adding new features. A platform for major future developments is set with this Autonomous Vehicle, like voice control, live feed, and GPS.M.S.Includes bibliographical reference
