/ ACAR /

The ACAR project solves the complex challenge of autonomous navigation in unstructured environments. By decentralizing computation across four independent ESP32 modules, the system ensures real-time processing of high-bandwidth sensor data, including video feeds from the ESP32-CAM and spatial maps generated by the VL53L0X Time-of-Flight sensor.

Our custom sensor fusion algorithm combines data from the MPU-6050 IMU, PMW3901 optical flow sensor, and BNO085 magnetometer to maintain precise orientation and velocity tracking. The physical chassis is driven by a robust L298N H-Bridge motor driver connected to four high-torque 12V DC gear motors, powered by a regulated LM2596 buck converter system.

"ACAR proves that industrial-grade autonomous robotics can be achieved through intelligent decentralized architectures. The Four Brain system allows unparalleled responsiveness in dynamic environments."
