Welcome
This is the Boeing Autonomous Driving Capstone project at Northern Arizona University.
Project Description
This project focuses on integrating autonomous navigation and control systems into a stock buggy. The vehicle will be able to perform assigned tasks autonomously, while still supporting a manual drive mode.
Sponsors and Stakeholders
Sponsor: Boeing (Michael Vogelsang)
Technical Support: Conner N. and Donald G.
Importance
This project contributes to the future of transportation and advanced automation technology. The developed system is a stepping stone toward fully autonomous vehicle control in real-world applications.
Buggy Vehicle
The buggy used for this project serves as the test platform for implementing automated control.
