Smartphone Control Of Rc Cars, Weston R. Fitzgerald
Smartphone Control Of Rc Cars, Weston R. Fitzgerald
Electrical Engineering
The smartphone-controlled RC (remote-controlled) car is an inexpensive remote-controlled car designed to be fast and portable. Instead of manufacturing, packaging, and shipping a separate controller, the remote control is implemented in a phone application, which saves time and money in both the design process and the manufacturing process. Utilizing the user’s smartphone is more cost-effective since mobile devices are a common recurrence, and packaging fewer devices results in overall better portability of the product.
This smartphone-controlled car is speedy and intuitive to learn for typical smartphone users. The user can change the car’s speed and direction wirelessly using their phone; …

Autonomous Driving Platform Performance Analysis, Charles R. Rickarby
Honors Theses and Capstones
Through data analysis of various plots and figures it will be possible to determine the best control parameters to get the best performance out of the autonomous driving platform. This data, presented in this thesis, will show quantitatively what the best control strategies are through comparison of different versions of the platform.
