ECE3091 Line-following hovercraft (2009)
ECE3091 Line-following hovercraft (2009) Tube. Duration : 5.68 Mins.
An autonomous, line-following hovercraft robot produced for a third year undergraduate subject, ECE3091 Engineering Design at Monash University run by Dr Price (Clayton campus, Australia). The sewn skirt is made out of rip-stop nylon and attached to the balsa wood base. A PC fan is used to generate lift, and propellers attached to DC motors provide thrust. There are custom electronics for the power, motor driver and sensor systems, and an Altera Cyclone II FPGA with a Nios II softcore processor is used for control. The controller is implemented in ~300 lines of C code. The whole thing runs off a 6x AA NiMH battery. Group 35 is Tim Raines, Michelle Ng, and Gareth Skinner. This was the winning design for the 2009 competition (fastest around the track). The prizes are FPGA development boards of some kind which we haven't got yet!
