For social, economical, or political reasons, unstructured environments may have to be studied and explored. However, the areas that need to be studied may not be safe (areas with dangerous radioactive materials or front lines in battle fields) and may pose problems including loss of life, for a human to explore by himself physically. For these and other similar reasons, autonomous surface exploring Vehicles are of paramount importance. In this work, design and development of a four wheeler Autonomous Surface Exploring Vehicle, which can be used for scientific data collection and/or for Military applications in small scale is described.
