This vehicle has four rotors that can be tilted during flight and after landing. Once the four rotors tilt after landing, it virtually becomes a land rover and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called a two-terrain transformable vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>I worked on all the hardware components of this vehicle from the scratch. I also fully developed and tested an embedded C code and a LabVIEW VI code to remotely transform the vehicle from one mode to another. By the end of the summer, I was able to show that my hardware and software combinations are fully functional and I had just enough time to assemble the vehicle and operate it in the land mode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>Drive Mode Video:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><strong>Flight Mode Video:\u00a0
