Abstract

Autonomous mobile platform is a machine that can operate in a humanmade environment. The paper presents design of autonomous mobile platform based on the all terrain 1/8th scale four wheel drive radio control model. In this paper was considered problem of automatic control of mobile platform using information from GPS system, electronic compass and encoder. Themobile platform is equipped in two-stroke glow engine, heavy-duty drive train and wide-track suspension and controller based on ARM7 microcontroller and usingMaxStream XBee Pro 2.4GHz radio modem communicationmodule. The base station equipment is also described. Communication protocol between mobile platform and base station is presented. The paper presents also an application of electronic compass to measure azimuth of mobile platform. Problem of speed and distance control is described. Results of real application are also shown. Results of work on autonomous mobile platform that can operate in human environment are presented. The obtained properties of the system have been affected that it can be used for future research and autopilot design project.
