Autonomous Systems (AS) Wiki

Welcome to the software and hardware wiki for the Autonomous Systems Clinic (ELEN90090), or A-S-Clinic for short.

This wiki is intended as the location for all documentation related to the software, hardware, and engineering methodology for the robotic platform used in ASClinic.

This wiki is expected to grow and expand as semester progresses (and also as the years progress), and everyone is encouraged to make contributions and point out errors. Email Paul (mailto:paul.beuchat@unimelb.edu.au) with any suggestions.
