Automatic parallel parking cars

What is Automatic Car Parking ?

Automatic parking is an autonomous car maneuvering from a traffic lane into a parking place to perform parallel parking, perpendicular or angle parking.


What's the importance of this topic?

Parking is one of the challenging thing for humans in Car Driving. Even though , lot of solutions available for smooth and safe driving such as car collision avoidance system, but very less focus is given to the the automatic parking system till recently. Although,many cars are now available with this feature such as Toyota Prius , still there is a long way to go.

For Whom :

Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics and Computer Science , almost all branches engineering students.

Level : Difficult


It is not an uncomplicated task to build up automatic parking expertise for a car. First of all, the car must be able to sense the surroundings, to find a free parking space and to detect obstacles in the car park.
Secondly, it should have the capability to plan the movement itself from the input of sensitivity system.
Lastly, it should be able to go after the premeditated motion sequences and to make sure that a goal position is reached, regardless of noise and errors.

Mechanical Stair Climbing Robot


Stair Climbing Robots : Modern day robot needs to do extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances. In a fire fighting time, there is time when it needs to climb stairs on its own , not only climb but find out when to climb and when to move forward.

To achieve that ,we need to design our robot in such a way that it can move forward as well as climb stairs easily. To achieve that , engineers use various techniques similar to innovative wheel design as shown in video.
