Project 9a: PID Controller

Note: This project’s realization will depend on the results from the Sensors, System Modeling and Embedded projects.

As a proof-of-concept level development, students may take inputs from various sensors and establish various “navigator” programs, such as speed, direction and obstacle avoidance. The students will have to acquire the information from the sensors (ADC conversion, digital communication, etc), process the information (embedded calculations, appropriate formulas) to give desired speed and direction.
