Mumbai: Here comes competition for the Nano. Students and faculty members of the Indian Institute of Technology have developed a prototype of a robotic automatic vehicle—Dexter 6D—for less than Rs 50,000.
Developed over a period of seven years, this prototype has a computer of its own, GPS for navigation and GSM for communication as also cameras to process images, distance sensors to avoid any kind of collusion and white line censors so the vehicle stays on track even without the driver’s inspection.
This prototype was one of the attractions at Techfest-2008 which opened on Friday.
