A capstone senior design team of Boston University students in the Mechanical Engineering program collaborated with Prof Caleb Farny, Geoffrey Bland, and Lisa Ogiemwonyi to improve the TerraROVER’s functionality. Current TerraROVER systems are restricted to outdoor application due to its current positioning sensing capability. The project goal was to develop an indoor navigation system and coordinate mapping within an enclosed setting, while preserving its core functionality.  >>
