  We were able to complete the full integration of the Robotic Technology
Kernel (RTK) into an electric vehicle by-wire system using lidar and GPS
sensors. The solution included a mobile application to interface with the
RTK-enabled autonomous vehicle. Altogether the system was designed to be
modular, using the concepts of message-based software design that is built into
the Robot Operating System (ROS), which is at the foundation of RTK. The team
worked incrementally to develop working software to demonstrate each milestone
on the path to successfully completing the RTK integration for the development
of an application called the Vehicle Summoning System (VSS).
