Let's play with arduino : Building an Autonomous Car Platform

Image
Tthose steps taken from Instructable   What is PiCar? PiCar is an open sourced autonomous car platform. It isn’t autonomous by itself, but you can easily add sensors to control the car with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Why use PiCar instead of an RC car? Using PiCar is very similar to using an RC car as a platform. However, PiCar gives you more control and is easier to modify than an RC car. The chassis for the PiCar is 3D printed, and you can easily edit the 3D model to add more space in the car if needed. In addition, all of the parts are either easily available online or can be 3D printed. Who made PiCar? PiCar was designed at Washington University in St. Louis in the lab of Humberto Gonzalez and Silvia Zhang. The car was designed in May of 2017 and was entered into a robotics competition in June. The PiCar came in the top 10 out of 30+ international teams in the Silk Road Robotics Innovations Competition at Xi'an Jiaotong University in Xi...
