Project Tango v1
Project Tango v1

My first ever attempt at building a turtlebot clone. It is a ROS Kinetic based UGV with SLAM and autonomous navigation(barely).

AUVSI SUAS Prototype
AUVSI SUAS Prototypes

VTOL and UGV testbeds for separately testing complete AUVSI SUAS missions for our entry to their 2019 competition.

Solo
Solo

Never Heard of Solo? It’s the UGV that made the headlines at IGVC in less than twelve months after its predecessor Adam’s entry. Grand Prize winners and won the Lescoe Cup at IGVC, an international level robotics competition held at Oakland University, Michigan, USA.
