Abstract
A system for providing autonomous driving of a radio controlled vehicle through an ambient environment is disclosed herein. The system can include a modular device with at least one sensor configured to generate signals associated with characteristics of the ambient environment, a bed plate configured to be mechanically coupled to the RC vehicle, and a modular control circuit configured to be mechanically coupled to the bed plate and communicably coupled to the modular device, wherein the modular control circuit is configured to be communicably coupled to hardware of the RC vehicle and control the RC vehicle in response to commands received from the modular device.
Claims10
A system for providing autonomous driving of a radio controlled (RC) vehicle using a user's mobile device, the mobile device comprising at least one sensor and a communication interface, the system comprising:
- a chassis configured to be mounted onto the RC vehicle, the chassis comprising:
- a slot configured to carry the user's mobile device, wherein the user's mobile device is a smartphone;
- and
- circuitry configured to communicatively couple to the RC vehicle and to send signals to operate the RC vehicle;
- the circuitry comprising an interface to connect to the communication interface of the user's mobile device and configured to receive commands from the user's mobile device that are routed to the RC vehicle.
