Welcome

Welcome to the SDP '06 website for the Bluetooth Universal Navigation Interface (BUNI.) It is pronounced "bunny."


Background

There are many types of 2-dimensional vehicles out there, yet no generic method exists for controlling them through a single, consistent interface. Our design would create a common interface for all sorts of vehicles that can follow an arbitrary 2-dimensional path, such as cars, boats, tractors, and even lawnmowers or modern vacuum cleaners. Creating such a common interface will allow operators to be able to provide an arbitrary path of their choice and command any type of vehicle to follow that path, possibly with specific points along that path to carry out some action. Among the plethora of possibilities for such a design are: Planting crops (sowing seeds as an action to take regularly) Handicapped Assistance (picking up a newspaper at the front door) Water Based Vehicular Control (boats, robots, buoys)
