Explaining the way the vehicle works, the experts said that the unmanned vehicle was connected to an operator computer via wireless technology. The team at the CVRDE has fixed the actuating device in a Honda CRV that has automatic transmission gears.An operator then operates the car through alaptop using software developed by DRDO.The car has an obstacle avoidance radar and a stereovision 3-dimension device that transmits a three dimensional view of the car’s path to the operator.“We can even fix a light machine gun to the car for defence purposes,” informed Dr Seetharaman.The CVRDE is demonstrating the capabilities of the car at Shaastra, the technical festival of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
