Construction of a Hovercraft Model and Control of its Motion

Abstract

For this research project, there are two basic requirements. The first requirement is to design and construct a physical model of a hovercraft prototype. The second requirement is to control the motion of the constructed hovercraft prototype, such as following a track, which consists of straight lines and curves. There are three software systems available in the completion of this research project. These systems are Pro/ENGINEER, SolidWorks and Robotics Invention System.
