Abstract

This paper presents a proposed design of a mechatronics system for autonomous vehicles. The proposed design is able to memorize a route based on Global Positioning System (GPS) rather than using pre-saved maps that are infrequently updated and do not include all roads of all countries. Moreover, it can autonomously avoid obstacles and detect bumps. Experimental tests are conducted using a small-scale car equipped with the proposed mechatronics system. The results show that the proposed system operates with minor errors and slips. The proposed autonomous vehicle can serve normal, disabled, and elderly people. It can be used on roads and even inside facilities like campuses, airports, and factories to transport passengers or loads thus reducing workmanship and costs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
