MAGIC 2010 Competition - The Kingston Team

Abstract

The Northern Hunters, a combined team of academia and industry attempted to design and build a fleet of autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) that would map out an unknown area and search for objects of interest. The intent was to have human "surveillance" over the fleet, but not control any of the UGVs directly, unless there was a malfunction. Our design called for a fleet of 10 UGVs, working in squads of 3 units, to search through the unknown area and to find the simulated objects, both static and mobile. As our team was eliminated from the competition in early June, our worked stopped, and has not proceeded any further.
