Vision Controlled Automated Robotic Vehicle using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

The automobile industries are concentrating to develop the design for self-driving cars. Nowadays they are many possibilities to implement the automated vehicle, but the drawbacks for implementing are also very high. In this paper, the miniature model of self-driving robot is created and demonstrated using the Raspberry pi with supporting sensors and motor drivers. So, this was mainly because of the security concerns that have raised in the initial testing stages. So, this paper could best describe an application that deals with the safety measures of the autonomous vehicles that are going to be dealt with in the nearer future. This paper tells us about how an application can be implemented using Raspberry Pi, camera module and the ultrasonic Sensor. Considering the different features and the cost, on a small scale a two-wheel vehicular robotic prototype has been designed. In the Autonomous car Raspberry pi is the central processor. Different type of images are captured by the camera module, and if these images have captured the color of traffic lights, then if the captured image is of the Red light then the motors of the vehicle should stop such that breaks of the car in real world should work. If the captured image is of Green light then the motors of the car should run and the vehicle should start to move in the direction it want to move and also using the Ultrasonic sensor if any of the objects that are nearby to the vehicle, then the vehicle should change the direction from which it is moving and this is well described throughout the paper.
