The invention is a design of a rennotely-controlled Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV). The Robot is designed using PTC PRO-ENGINEER Wildfire v4. It helped in deciding the dimensions and balancing of the robot. The robot is designed considering Safety and reduced complexity. We have used ANSYS 12 Mechanical for simulating our Pro-E design and Finite Element Analysis. We are using Differential Drive for steering and Computer operated Motor Controller for Throttle control. Motors used are brushed DC motors filled with Gearbox (Refer Fig 1). For braking we have manual and wireless E-Stops. Wheel Encoders are being used to provide feedback to Motor Controllers.
