Arduino-controlled autonomous cart that transports a vertical rod using real-time feedback control and precision motion analysis
Designed and built an autonomous transport system to carry a 1-foot vertical aluminum rod across a distance of 5-10 feet at maximum speed without tipping. This challenging control systems project required integration of Arduino programming, motor control, real-time feedback systems, and SolidWorks motion analysis to achieve optimal speed-stability balance. The system successfully demonstrated advanced control algorithms with smooth acceleration profiles and precise feedback control, validating theoretical calculations with practical testing results.
