Project Summary

The project is based on AI OpenCV Neural Network which will alow the Robotic CAR it self to operate in real time environment. The Robotic CAR will be able to reach its destination from the source, keeping all the necessary environmental conditions in view. 

1. It will adjust it self to avoide any collision
2. it will detect objects, signs and traffic lights
3. It will self drive on track by monitoring lane markings 

This project will consits of three main subsystems:

1. Input unit (camera & sensors)
2. Processing unit (computer or microcontroller)
3. Control unit (motors, chassis, wheels etc.)

Project Objectives

The objectives of the this project are as following:

1. Self-driving on track with lane switching.
2. Sign detection (stop, slow), signal/traffic light detection, object detection.
3. 360° collision avoidance.

Project Implementation Method

Algorithms and techniques that we will need to accomplish this system are

1. Machine learning algorithms using python3.
2. AI Neural Networks which is very much important for this system because once the network is trained, it only needs to load trained parameters afterwards. Which helps the prediction process work very fast.
3. Object detection such as stop sign and traffic light detection.
4. Some sensors like distance measurement ultrasonic sensors, cameras, lights etc. 

Project Implementation Method 

This system or prototype is divided into three sub-systems

1- Input Unit

Input unit includes Raspberry Pi board (model B+), attached with a pi camera module and different sensors are used to collect input data. Client program run on Raspberry Pi for streaming colour video. In order to achieve low latency video streaming, video can be scaled down to 320×240 resolution.

2- Processing Unit

The processing unit (computer) will handle multiple tasks like receiving data from Raspberry Pi, neural network training and prediction (steering), object detection (stop sign and traffic light), distance measurement (monocular vision), and sending instructions to Arduino through USB connection.

3- Control Unit

The prototype that we will use in this project will have an on/off switch type controller. When a button is pressed, the resistance between the relevant chip pin and ground is zero. Thus, an Arduino board is used to simulate button-press actions. Arduino pins will be used to connect four chip pins on the controller, corresponding to forward, reverse, left and right actions respectively. Arduino pins sending LOW signal indicates grounding the chip pins of the controller, on the other hand sending HIGH signal indicates the resistance between chip pins and ground remain unchanged. The Arduino is connected to the computer via USB. The computer will output commands to Arduino using serial interface, and then the Arduino will read the commands and writes out LOW or HIGH signals, simulating button-press actions to drive the prototype.
