==== Description: ====
The goal of the project is to develop the needed hardware and software for an
exceptionally powerful and versatile Autonomous Control System (A.C.S.) for a
general pourpose explorer rover bot. 
This system, actually, is composed of three main subsystem that provide
low-level real time data acquisition and high level navigation, obstacle
avoidance and real time path planning functionality. 
In details, level 1 is responsable for environmentals and general pourpose
sensors data reading and telemetry, level 2 for data processing, filtering
and motion control and level 3 for obstacle avoidance by sonar and stereo
vision system.
Actually the A.C.S. makes uses of two LPC2106 ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller for
the logic and one Via EPIA Nehemiah LVDS motherboard with Gentoo GNU\Linux
and OpenCV for the obstacle avoidance by stereovision.
The main idea is that should be possibile control the rover in two ways, one
fully automatic with the A.C.S. engaged and one semi automatic like a
teleoperated mode.
An exporer rover bot equipped with the A.C.S. can localizes itself  by GPS
signal and compute a path to reach a position by following a pre-loaded path.
During the mission it have to avoids obstacle and trasmit telemtry data back
to a ground station.
Actually the code is still in heavy development, we have now setup the ARM7
SPI, I2C, RS232 communication functions and the GPS data decoding functions.
The source code could be downloaded here:

==== Other Software Required: ====
arm-elf-gcc
OpenCV
