Agribot VI

Agribot VI


Guang Zhou and Seungcheul Kim(from UTD) are holding a miniature version of the agribot they've built for testing their navigation software and iOS app.  Their app enables any iOS device to control and share resources(such as GPS/maps/etc.) with the agribot via the CC3200's Wi-Fi connection.(making it a "phone drone")  They are using the boosterpack developed by the Wi-Fi IoT team with integrated motor drivers to control the car and interface with a servo mounted ultrasonic sensor.

Once we complete development of their GPS + Ultrasonic navigation software for the agribot, we plan to launch a Kickstarter project(with some other contributing students) offering an agribot controller(with application) and a hardware kit (to build a full scale agribot).  You can find our opensource navigation software project here: https://github.com/gzhou358/Agribot_v1.0
