Abstract :
Autonomous robots have many applications in manufacturing industry, space exploration, defense research, etc. The goal of this project, codenamed Eagle O, is to build a semi-autonomous robot. Robots can have autonomous characteristic to varying degrees. Eagle O is being developed with semi-autonomous characteristics. A control system is being implemented for directing the robot using a remote machine. Having semi-autonomous characteristics, Eagle O can direct itself in hazardous situations. Other key characteristic include following a light source for navigation purposes, autonomously traversing in hazardous conditions, and capturing physical data in real-time mode. The other goal behind Eagle O project is to develop a model for space exploration robots. It is very unlikely Eagle O robot will be operated in space.
