OVERVIEW ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) has been working with the UCSD Coordinated Robotics Lab to develop working prototypes of a number of innovative robotic UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles). We have focused on three specific areas with our low-cost, feedback-stabilized robotic vehicles: embedded control and robotics education, search and rescue within burning buildings, and design for low-cost manufacturing. The Mobile Inverted Pendulum (MIP) vehicle is dynamically unstable and uses advanced embedded controllers to provide balance and enhanced maneuverability across various kinds of terrain. This UGV has the potential to become the basis for a range of robust, agile, and high-function devices for a variety of applications in challenging environments. TASKS PERFORMED & KEY OUTCOMES
