[ Home ] [ Up ]

Design Objectives:

1. Initiate proportional navigation techniques to follow a mobile target vehicle at a distance of predefinition (~ 5 cm) with a tolerance of +/- 1 cm. 

2. Experiment with alternative control techniques: hysteresis, integral, and derivative [Process Control Student Guide]

3. Determine limitations of each technique given the type of robot vehicles being tested and sensor systems used.
