Development of an integrated controller for autonomous unmanned vehicle

摘要

This paper proposes a new autonomous navigation controller necessary for the realization of the autonomous unmanned navigation platform. This controller realized a hardware platform by integrating the functions of power distribution, vehicle control and autonomous navigation algorithm processing. A multi-communication channel was constructed considering vehicle-mounted and external environments, and a parallel interface was built for the effective data transmissions and receptions. The controller was module-structured by functions and designed to be convenient for the maintenance and repairs. Software was realized at this controller for actual applications, and the proposed controller was actually mounted on the unmanned navigation platform to confirm its performance.
