University of British Columbia, IGEN 230 Design Project
Spring 2019 - Presented April 4th/2019
A proof-of-concept collision avoidance system implemented on a skateboard.
Inputs:
Distance from LiDAR Lite V3, Angle from Tower Pro SG90 Servo, Yaw/Pitch/Roll from MPU6050's Gyro.
Process:
Time stamped vectors pointing to nearby obstacles, with angle offsets (due to dynamic nature of a moving
skateboard) from gyro stored; derivative of vectors * distance = seconds to impact (SOI) to nearest object
in current trajectory. SOI = 2.2s is set as the danger threshhold (based on research & experimention - refer to report).
Outputs:
Piezo Buzzer alarming the user, with frequency mapped to increase as SOI decreases.
