Whatever the name but the aim of the technology is the same. Down the memory line, autonomous vehicle technology experiments started in 1920 only and controlled by radio technology. Later on, trails began in 1950. From the past few years, updating automation technology day by day and using all aspects of using in regular human life. The present scenario of human beings is addicted to automation and robotics technology using like agriculture, medical, transportation, automobile and manufacturing industries, IT sector, etc. For the last ten years, the automobile industry came forward to researching autonomous vehicle technology (Waymo Google, Uber, Tesla, Renault, Toyota, Audi, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Nissan, Bosch, and Continental's autonomous vehicle, etc.). Level-3 Autonomous cars came out in 2020. Everyday autonomous vehicle technology researchers are solving challenges. In the future, without human help, robots will manufacture autonomous cars using IoT technology based on customer requirements and prefer these vehicles are very safe and comfortable in transportation systems like human traveling or cargo. Autonomous vehicles need data and updating continuously, so in this case, IoT and Artificial intelligence help to share the information device to the device.

    Mechatronics Design of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle for Military Applications 237 Mechatronics Design of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle for Military 15X Applications Pekka Appelqvist, Jere Knuuttila and Juhana Ahtiainen Mechatronics Design of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle for Military Applications Pekka Appelqvist, Jere Knuuttila and Juhana Ahtiainen Helsinki University of Technology Finland 1. Introduction In this chapter the development of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) for task-oriented military applications is described. The instrumentation and software architecture of the vehicle platform, communication links, remote control station, and human-machine interface are presented along with observations from various field tests. Communication delay and usability tests are addressed as well. The research was conducted as a part of the FinUVS (Finnish Unmanned Vehicle Systems) technology program for the Finnish Defense Forces. The consortium responsible for this project included both industry and research institutions. Since the primary interest of the project was in the tactical utilization scenarios of the UGV and the available resources were relatively limited, the implementation of the vehicle control and navigation systems was tried to be kept as light and cost-effective as possible. The resources were focused on developing systems level solutions. The UGV was developed as a technology demonstrator using mainly affordable COTS components to perform as a platform for the conceptual testing of the UGV system with various types of payloads and missions. Therefore, the research methodology was rather experimental by nature, combining complex systems engineering and mechatronics design, trying to find feasible solutions. The ultimate goal of the research and development work was set to achieve high level of autonomy, i.e., to be able to realistically demonstrate capability potential of the system with the given mission.

  • Autonomous Cars: Past, Present and Future
    Autonomous Cars: Past, Present and Future A Review of the Developments in the Last Century, the Present Scenario and the Expected Future of Autonomous Vehicle Technology Keshav Bimbraw Mechanical Engineering Department, Thapar University, P.O. Box 32, Patiala, Punjab, India Keywords: Autonomous Cars, Autonomous Vehicles, Cars, Mechatronics Systems, Intelligent Transportation Technologies and Systems, Automation. Abstract: The field of autonomous automation is of interest to researchers, and much has been accomplished in this area, of which this paper presents a detailed chronology. This paper can help one understand the trends in autonomous vehicle technology for the past, present, and future. We see a drastic change in autonomous vehicle technology since 1920s, when the first radio controlled vehicles were designed. In the subsequent decades, we see fairly autonomous electric cars powered by embedded circuits in the roads. By 1960s, autonomous cars having similar electronic guide systems came into picture. 1980s saw vision guided autonomous vehicles, which was a major milestone in technology and till date we use similar or modified forms of vision and radio guided technologies. Various semi-autonomous features introduced in modern cars such as lane keeping, automatic braking and adaptive cruise control are based on such systems. Extensive network guided systems in conjunction with vision guided features is the future of autonomous vehicles. It is predicted that most companies will launch fully autonomous vehicles by the advent of next decade. The future of autonomous vehicles is an ambitious era of safe and comfortable transportation. 1 INTRODUCTION ‘Linriccan Wonder’. Significant advances in autonomous car technology has been made after the Consumers all around the whole world are enthusiastic advent of the vision guided Mercedes-Benz robotic about the advent of autonomous cars for public.

Everson Battelle Memorial Institute 3 Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142 July 15, 1996 where SVRD crashes are a frequent occurrence. The latter system a laser scanner under development by Aerometrics and supported by NHTSA, was not available for the SVRD project. Consequently, two CMU lateral position measurement systems were evaluated during Phase I. These CMU systems are ALVINN and RALPH. Both were described in the Task 3 report of Phase I. Continuing where the Phase I technology assessment stopped, the CMU project team selected four general CAS functional areas for review during Phase II. These include: (1) noncooperative and cooperative lateral position monitoring systems, (2) vehicle state monitoring systems, (3) in- vehicle fiction detection systems, and (4) infrastructure hazard detection systems. The first category was further divided according to the following subcategories: (1 - 1) multi function prototype vehicles with SVRD capabilities, (l-2) edge detection/lane following (in-vehicle methods), and (l-3) edge detection/lane following (infrastructure-based). The first subcategory included several papers that describe prototype vehicles with in-vehicle CASs, which address several crash types in a prioritized manner, while the other two categories address single function systems pertaining strictly to SVRD applications. Inclusion of the first subcategory concerning multi functional CASs sets the stage for the integration of SVRD countermeasures with other countermeasure systems that will likely evolve in the quest for commercially viable systems of the future.
