Tell us about your project? |
| Answer: |
The wizitank (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) will be part of the future combat force to carry
out tasks that would otherwise be difficult for a conventional manned vehicle. This vehicle will
be innovative and cost-effective in situational awareness systems that serve and protect
military, law enforcement and security professionals engaged in low-intensity conflict and anti-
terrorism activities in urban & unstructured environments. This will be part of the Low Intensity
Conflict / Explosive Ordinance Disposal program and Homeland Security to carry out tasks into a
variety of undesirable, hazardous, and potentially life-threatening environments in stealth and
NBC threats. In order to navigate autonomously, the vehicle will be mounted with sensors for
evaluating the terrain and have software for interpreting the data, path planning to decide a
safe course of action, and control to oversee that plan. Sensing and interpretation of the terrain
and environment are the most challenging tasks. Generation of terrain profile, detection of
positive and negative obstacles, lethal drop off, safe down slope, pothole, waterhole,
Geometric profile, penetrability and compressibility are to be understood for autonomous
navigation. The technologies for the autonomous navigation is multidisciplinary which includes
kinematics, Real time perception system, Multi sensors data fusion, Localization & Path
planning and Robust vehicle control.
