Inspiration
One of our members was feeling under the weather, with the theme of space, we were inspired to create a way to visualize and measure social distancing. During further development we found applications for extraterrestrial exploration as a way to survey candidates for human visitors
What it does
Our L.A.N.C.E.R rover scans a 180 degree area up to 2.5 meters and measures distance to those objects and projects their approximate location on a map
How we built it
Using an Arduino with an ultrasonic sensor we piped raw data to a react application via the web serial . It uses a bit of trigonometry to paint the coordinates on a two dimensional canvas
Challenges we ran into
Connecting web serial api to the Arduino & structural challenges with materials
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Working prototype, with limited resources
What we learned
Structural integrity, converting polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates
What's next for THE L.A.N.C.E.R
3d printed body, 360 degrees plane, mobility!
