| Resumo: | Technology is an essential part of our lives in today’s world and it is not possible to imagine a world without it. It is a fact that humanity steps go towards a technological evolution where our dependence on it will be even higher due to the advent of new and improved technologies. The automotive industry is not left behind from the technological evolution and for that reason it is surprising the world with new and astonishing transformations into the driving’s experience. One of the biggest challenges on the current car industry is the possibility to implement a new fleet generation of autonomous driving cars which would completely change our driving experience. This project consists on the adaptation of a new radio control car to an autonomous racing vehicle following as a guidance a previous ESEIAAT’S project of an autonomous vehicle. In order to achieve the aim of this project a new radio control car with superior features is joined together with the former autonomous technologies, which are present in the old ESEIAAT’S prototype. To obtain the perfect control of the new autonomous racing vehicle it is used Robot Operating System. All necessary steps to accomplish the objective range from an initial market research, in order to choose the proper new radio control car for this academic application, to the very end of the new code implementations. Which are the functionalities of all the parts of the vehicle, the assembly process between both vehicles, the final car specifications and detailed explanation of how to control this new autonomous vehicle through Robot Operating System are also part of this Master’s Thesis. |
