About the project

As a part of a curriculum project for Advance Mechatronics (ROB-GY 6103) at NYU Masters of Mechatronics and Robotics, we were to make an AGV that is capable of exploring a pre-defined shopfloor layout with dynamic obstacles locating widgets and navigating to its end position as a Proof of Concept of transporting the payload in an industrial environment.

The main highlight of the project is the implementation of a Dynamic A-Star algorithm that is capable of path planning in the presence of dynamic obstacles. The A-Star algorithm was written in embedded C.
