Designed and built a "Global Emergency Autonomous Response System" as part of a four-person engineering team to complete autonomous maze navigation, hazard detection, and cargo delivery tasks. The robot was constructed using LEGO components and a Raspberry Pi board, along with sensors including three ultrasonic sensors, gyroscope, magnetometer, and infrared sensor.
The mechanical design featured a differential steering drivetrain with two large motorcycle wheels and custom caster wheels. A 3D-printed treasure chest cargo container with custom release mechanism transported "supplies" and deposited them upon exiting the maze. The software implemented a left-wall-following navigation algorithm with coordinate tracking and mapping capabilities.
