Autonomous Tank Robot

  • Project Title & Role:
    Autonomous Tank Robot — Lead Design Engineer
  • Problem Statement:
    Design a mobile robot for competition, capable of autonomous navigation, target detection, and projectile firing.
  • My Solution:
    • Tracked chassis for stability on mixed terrain.
    • Developed Scotch-yoke + flywheel firing mechanism for precision shots.
    • Implemented obstacle avoidance and targeting algorithms in C++/Python.
    • Validated ~80% shot accuracy in field trials.
  • Key Deliverables/Outcomes:
    • Fully functional autonomous robot with reliable targeting and navigation.
    • Strengthened expertise in mechanism–software integration.
    • Achieved competition readiness under strict time constraints.
  • Visuals:
    • CAD of firing module.
    • Robot chassis photo.
    • Accuracy test plots.
