Abstract
During the previous decades, research upon unmanned autonomous vehicles of every type (terrestrial, flying, submerged) was focused mainly on military applications and on a lesser degree on commercial or educational ones. However, the progressive commercialization of this kind of vehicles intensified research by major firms in the academic area. Technological advancements together with cost reduction of numerous computational resources helped to spread their appeal. The development in sensor accuracy and the diversity on open-source development platforms drastically contributed to a friendly environment for both the researcher and the user. In this dissertation, we present the culmination of this progress a general purpose unmanned autonomous vehicle based on the single board computer Raspberry Pi, equipped with numerous sensors, computer vision and remote control (browser based using RESTful API).
