Project TITAN - Configuration Hyperion

Developed by Bryce Keever and Benjamin Costello
ENGR 385 - Integration 2 | Spring 2025
Colorado Mesa University

Overview

Project TITAN is an advanced autonomous rover designed and developed to demonstrate integrated engineering concepts, including mechatronics, software development, and system integration. This project is part of the ENGR 385 - Integration 2 course at Colorado Mesa University. It serves as a comprehensive exploration of practical engineering applications, combining modern hardware, software, and design methodologies to create a fully functional autonomous system.

Each rover utilizes two Arduino MEGA microcontrollers:

  • Rover Control Unit: Manages autonomous navigation, sensor integration, and decision-making.
  • Handheld Control Console: Provides manual control and real time command transmission.

Features

  • Arduino Programming: Custom code for sensor input, motor control, and communication protocols.
  • Mechanical Design: A SolidWorks assembly for the rover chassis and components.
  • Human Interface: A handheld console for monitoring and operation, including live sensor data visualization.
  • Obstacle Detection: Utilizes HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensors for obstacle detection and avoidance.
  • Precise Movement: Driven by precision-controlled motors.
  • Control Console: An intuitive handheld device for manual operation and telemetry feedback.

By leveraging a multidisciplinary approach, Project TITAN demonstrates the practical integration of hardware design, embedded systems, and control strategies, providing a scalable foundation for future autonomous systems research and development.

Questions

What parts does the Project Titan use?

6 parts, built around the ATMEGA2560-16AU, LM2596S-ADJ and HC-SR04. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Project Titan KiCad files?

From the bakeever/Project-Titan repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Wiring Schematic/Project Titan/Project Titan.kicad_pcb and its schematic Wiring Schematic/Project Titan/Hyperion.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Project Titan design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bakeever before reusing the design.
