The purpose of Robotic kit is to convert in-use/in-service Manned Vehicle into Unmanned Vehicle for facilitating safer operation in risky zones. In conventional unmanned ground vehicle, driving controls are modified by Drive-by-Wire System, which is vehicle specific design and conversion from manned to unmanned is lengthy. In contrast, Robotic Kit for Automated Driving (RKAD) is a generic & modular solution offering “on demand, faster and easier” mode of conversation into remotely – operated/ autonomous- driving systems.
