Abstract
The recent trends and advancements in the field of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems has motivated us to work on a similar project of our own. The project required much considerations and effort in both hardware and software aspect due to which this project is separated into first half and second half. The first half deals with the physical system of the vehicle which involves all the hardware and the control system for those hardware. The second half primarily focuses on the implementation of autonomy, i.e. computer vision and model training. This half of the project involves building a system that integrates all the sensors and actuators along with processing units to provide a platform for the model to control the vehicle. The physical system uses a stereo camera to observe the surrounding and also uses other sensors which communicates to the core system and each other using the CAN bus protocol. The vehicle is a large model capable of driving a single person which also utilizes a hardwired switch to take over the controls to manual mode in case of emergency.
