DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement – Robotic
 s & Automation Joint Chapter for a talk on Autonomous Electric Combat Vehi
 cles\, presented by Prof. Zeinab El-Sayegh.\n\nAbstract: Current literatur
 e pertaining to multi-steerable mobile platforms and the progression of mi
 litary vehicles in the past few decades suggest a lack of effort in pursui
 ng advanced technologies in this joint area. As a result\, a novel 1:6 sca
 led 8x8 electric combat vehicle prototype that features eight independentl
 y driven and steerable wheels is designed and developed.\n\nThe intent is 
 to create a scaled model for future autonomous vehicle navigation and cont
 rol research in off road terrains. Starting with the mechanical design\, t
 his talk will discuss the details of the chassis\, suspension\, driving an
 d steering systems development. The electronics necessary for vehicle actu
 ation is implemented with custom nodes and topics created for hardware com
 munication within the Robot Operating System (ROS). Lastly\, path planning
  and obstacle avoidance abilities are implemented to achieve autonomous na
 vigation. The result of this work is a fully functional and instrumented r
 obotic platform with a modular software architecture. Vehicle design analy
 sis\, performance and autonomous navigation abilities are experimentally t
 ested with promising results.\n\nThis talk will also cover the future of a
 utonomous electric combat vehicles.\n\nSpeaker(s): Zeinab El-Sayegh\, PhD\
