Abstract This paper presents a proposed design of a mechatronics system for autonomous vehicles. The proposed design is able to memorize a route based on Global Positioning System (GPS) rather than using pre-saved maps that are infrequently updated and do not include all roads of all countries. Moreover, it can autonomously avoid obstacles and detect bumps. Experimental tests are conducted using a small-scale car equipped with the proposed mechatronics system. The results show that the proposed system operates with minor errors and slips. The proposed autonomous vehicle can serve normal, disabled, and elderly people. It can be used on roads and even inside facilities like campuses, airports, and factories to transport passengers or loads thus reducing workmanship and costs.
