AeroVironment AeRobot
AeRobot is a system designed to navigate and map a foreign area under high-interference or wireless obstructing areas. It integrates multiple functions on a remote-controlled robot, including LIDAR for local area mapping, live camera feed, a node deployment mechanism, and motors for effective navigation throughout an environment with low RF permeability. This robot deploys self-sufficient, low-cost battery-powered nodes which seamlessly connect over RF for data transmission and integrate a PIR sensor for proximity awareness. There is a seamless node data transmission between newly deployed nodes and the existing network, and the system is able to efficiently transmit and display the camera and LIDAR integrations over this network. The interface on the laptop is a view of the live camera from the robot, a top-down view of the robot’s mapped area, and a catalogue of all PIR sensors’ data from each node.
