Background
An autonomous delivery platform brings together mechanical structure, motor control, multiple sensors, and software. Starting with chassis design, this project integrated the motion system, sensor interfaces, and navigation framework.
My contributions
- Led mechanical design in SOLIDWORKS, integrating an aluminum-profile frame, omnidirectional wheels, passive rollers, and double-wishbone suspension.
- Integrated RoboMaster M3508 motors and CAN-based control, with Jetson Nano for sensor processing and motion planning.
- Connected A1 LiDAR, four millimeter-wave radars, GPS, and IMU, adapting Autoware interfaces, right-hand traffic logic, and computation flow.
Technical approach
Power & sensing
Integrate CAN motor control and multiple sensor inputs.
Software integration
Adapt Autoware interfaces and navigation logic.
Outcomes & evaluation
4Millimeter-wave radars
CANMotor control bus
- Integrated the delivery vehicle’s mechanical, powertrain, and perception platforms.
- Connected multi-sensor data to planning and motor execution.
