  • Abstract
    In this paper, we discuss the development of an autonomous planning craft test platform. The motivation for the development of this test bed is discussed, along with technical details regarding the initial implementation. Particular emphasis is placed upon the integration of motors, actuators, and sensors for position, motion, and collision avoidance with a central microcontroller.
