Abstract
This paper addresses the development of sensor and actuator node device for an autonomous All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). Generally, the present field survey activities are performed by manual labors. The range of the field survey tends to be vast; therefore a lot of labors are needed. To realize the investigation of the environment with less manned labors, we add the functionality for automation to the ATV. In this paper, we introduce the CAN bus network to the autonomous ATV for the distributed control system, and construct the steering angle control system of the ATV and evaluated it.
