Offering
ENGR498-F2025-S2026
Project Name: A.T.L.A.S (Automated Transportation & Logistics Assistance System)
Date: 7/25/2025
Company: DMAFB 309 AMARG
Project Advisor and Contact: Ryan Stapleton, 309 AMARG Chief Engineer
Project Premise
The basic goal of this project is to create a semi-autonomous robot that can travel around AMARG and perform logistics assistance by delivering tools and equipment to technicians in the field and transporting aircraft components that they have removed back to a central location. This would reduce the amount of time AMARG technicians spend performing these logistics tasks and maximize their time working on the aircraft.
General Requirements
There are several specific requirements for ATLAS.
1-ATLAS must be able to autonomously navigate across desert
2-ATLAS must be able to navigate to different positions as summoned by users and then navigate back to the starting position.
3-ATLAS must be able to transport a medium amount of payload while it travels to and from users.
4-ATLAS must be able to travel across rough desert landscapes and on dirt roads.
5-ATLAS must be able to avoid unexpected personnel and animals, as well as fixed obstacles, as it navigates to and from users.
6-ATLAS must have emergency shutdown buttons, both on the robot itself and on a remote control of some kind.
