A group of engineering students from a private university in Pune has developed a “controlled autonomous” electric quadricycle using artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of reducing the number of accidents and deaths caused by human error.
This vehicle was developed by the mechanical engineering and electronics and telecommunications students of MIT World Peace University.
“The car is based on Level III autonomy and uses a BLDC motor. A lithium iron phosphate battery has been used to power the vehicle,” said Yash Keskar, one of the students.
Another student, Sudhanshu Manerikar, said the vehicle’s steering, accelerator and brakes are controlled using a number of AI and ML algorithms, involving leader cameras, microprocessors, automated action control systems and various sensors.
This vehicle has a power of three kilowatts and takes four hours to charge. It can cover a distance of 40 km. Such vehicles have numerous uses in agriculture, mining, transportation and other fields, he added.
Professor dr. Ganesh Kakandikar said such electric vehicles can be used to connect metro stations with the neighboring areas, for transportation, in airports, in golf clubs, in universities, etc.
Other students who were part of the project were Sourabh Damkale, Shubhanga Kulkarni and Pratyaksh Pandey.
