Welcome
Welcome to the SDP '06 website for the Bluetooth Universal Navigation Interface (BUNI.) It is pronounced "bunny."
Background
There are many types of 2-dimensional vehicles out there, yet no
generic method exists for controlling them through a single, consistent
interface. Our design would create a common interface for all sorts of
vehicles that can follow an arbitrary 2-dimensional path, such as cars,
boats, tractors, and even lawnmowers or modern vacuum cleaners. Creating
such a common interface will allow operators to be able to provide an
arbitrary path of their choice and command any type of vehicle to follow
that path, possibly with specific points along that path to carry out
some action.
Among the plethora of possibilities for such a design are:
Planting crops (sowing seeds as an action to take regularly)
Handicapped Assistance (picking up a newspaper at the front door)
Water Based Vehicular Control (boats, robots, buoys)
