2
Outline

• Base station detects the presence of any object
• Sends the position of the target object
• Rover moves to the desired destination
• Intercepts with the target

3
Technical Description

• Base Station
• Ultrasonic Sensor measures distance to target
• Estimates the range and angle of the target
• Transmits the XY target coordinates using RF
  communication

4
Technical Description

• Rover tracking Bot
• Receives XY coordinates from the base station
• Reaches the coordinates specified
• Does a local scan using IR sensors
• Detects the object and homes in.
