Using roskinetic api with added features of rosbridge to google map API and mavros link to Arducopter's database , an autonomous all terrain vehicle was made. A successful attempt to make a 3D plot using a LiDar using that could be used as a light insensitive obstacle detector.
Hardware Used : Raspberry 3 (Raspbian OS) ATMEGA2560 APM2.8
