Automating vehicle navigation

Abstract

Technological advancements in one sector integrate with other sectors resulting into generation of further developments. GPS is the output from researches for better navigation systems, which is now used by field researchers who travel to uncharted distant places so that they don’t get lost and of course know where they are going.

Researchers have now brought up a new dimension to our lifestyle with the introduction of unmanned vehicles on every possible surface: from air to land and above and under water. Unmanned vehicles are no more innovative characters in Sci-fi thrillers, but a reality and it is possible using GPS.

Our area of interest for the thesis is the implementation of GPS in an unmanned vehicle that would take the input from a user in terms of latitude and longitude and then make its way to the destination automatically by creating a path and maintaining it till it reaches there.
