This document outlines the design criteria and component selection for an autonomous vehicle (DOG) capable of identifying, tracking, and manipulating objects within its environment. Key abilities include target identification via image capture, vehicle direction control, obstacle recognition, autonomous object manipulation, and precise GPS waypoint navigation. Critical constraints involve weight, power consumption, size, and image processing speed. The selected parts range from microcontrollers, sensors, grippers, to drive systems, ensuring efficient and effective vehicle performance in real-time applications.

P.S.S.C.’s • An ability to identify a target object within a captured image. • An ability to control vehicle direction and speed. • An ability to recognize nearby objects in anticipation of avoiding said objects. • An ability to grab/pick up an object autonomously. • An ability to record a GPS location in order to verify that DOG has returned to said waypoint.

Important Constraints • Weight • More weight will require more torque to maintain the same speed which will draw more current and dissipate power more rapidly. • Power • More power draw will require larger battery pack which will increase the weight. • Size • The larger our DOG is the more objects it will have to avoid, and the heavier it will get. • We have a limited amount of space to fit all of our parts onto the chassis. • Image Processing Speed • Require real-time input from the image tracking algorithm in order to effectively track the target object.
