Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Forge

UGV Forge is an autonomous rescue vehicle that is quick to land, locate, and deliver supplies to given GPS Coordinates. Working in part with UAV Forge, our vehicle is designed to be dropped out of the sky from an autonomous air vehicle and use GPS coordinates provided from the radio ground station to navigate to the destination. Our vehicle incorporates local sensors (Ultrasound, Barometer, Bump sensors, LiDar) for short distance autonomous navigation and radio wave communication for long distance autonomous navigation (Radio Wave communication, GPS Receiver).  However, UGV Forge is a modular project with more then one purpose as our design is not limited to strictly delivering supplies. The UGV Forge vehicle also serves a green initiative to help conserve water in agriculture. UGV will be capable of autonomously mapping the water concentration of a region of grass or soil in order to determine where water is being wasted and where water is being supplied in short. Ultimately the UGV project is capable of serving many purposes by using our autonomous navigation solutions to solve collective issues of all kinds.
