Abstract

This paper presents the architecture of a solar powered autonomous explorer. The autonomous explorer employs smart power management system to harvest its energy from the solar energy and monitors its usage in the system. Also it monitors its surrounding environment and communicates with a control base station. The explorer incorporates appropriate sensors to monitor various environmental conditions. The complete system was fully implemented as a prototype and its operation modes were verified. The system architecture is highly flexible and scalable one which enables expansion whenever the need arises.
