  1. 11. Autonomous Propulsion for a GPR-UGV

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Fredrik Wall Eskilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : robotics; gpr; autonomous; robot; ros; slam;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the research and development behind the integration of an autonomous propulsion system for a four-wheeled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurement unit, previously requiring manual operation. In order to ease the administration of the complex new system, Robot Operating System (ROS) 2 was used as middleware, where an implementation of Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) 3D-SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) served to secure precise localization of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and mapping of its environment.
