1025: MAGIC 2010 Multi Autonomous Ground International Challenge. Volume I

Abstract

The Multi-Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge (MAGIC) was a competition that required a team of autonomous mobile robots to collaboratively perform a reconnaissance mission in a dynamic urban environment, generating a complete map of the previously unknown area and identifying objects of interest (such as potential threats) within the area. This report focuses mainly on the work done on this project by the student team at the University of Adelaide, however some overlap occurs between work conducted by Strategic Engineering. The report includes hardware selection, mechanical design and the creation of software required to interact with the sensors for each subsystem. Most of the systems have been extensively developed and tested with varying levels of success. All of the systems have been developed from the ground up and have been discussed in the report.
