Abstract—SMP (Smart Mobile Platform) is an open-source, fully customizable, modular platform for implementing embedded technologies into any system. SMP is designed to allow design modularity and application specific customization. The current developmental platform consists of electric motors, an embedded system, a data fusion module, universal control module, and an array of sensor modules customized for the “Smart Wheelchair” application. Each module has been designed to perform specific tasks, such as, environment monitoring, system monitoring, collision avoidance, GPS location, wireless control, and many other functions. It also features real-time web connectivity for monitoring and data logging.
Key features:
- Versatile
- Fully Customizable
- Modular
- Plug and Play
- Open Source
Basically we created a platform that can be used for any application. If we want a surveillance robot all that is needed is to add/remove modules.
For the actual Project, we implemented a "Smart Wheelchair" with a universal controller.
We also implemented a remote controllable rover that can monitor the environment via sensor modules. Additionally we have GPS module to track the location of the platform.
The project was created as our Capstone/Senior Design Project for UNLV.
We competed and won the Grand Prize, beating all groups from all engineering departments.

Head Control Module:
The head controller is designed to control the wheelchair using head movements/tilts.
It contains a 3-axis accelerometer and an atmega328p microcontroller.
It is connected to a universal control module that allows controlling the wheelchair with any method as long as our protocol is followed
