This thesis deals with the structural design of an autonomous RC vehicle model and its subsequent realisation, intended for future use in mechatronics education and for practical demonstrations of control systems based on neural networks. The literature review focuses on technologies used in both autonomous vehicle models and full-scale autonomous vehicles. Based on consultations with experts from Reichard Modelsport, the chassis components were selected. The sensors for autonomous control were often chosen after consultation with the thesis supervisor. All structural parts were then designed, manufactured, and integrated with the modified chassis. In addition, a printed circuit board was designed and produced to provide a compact solution for the required power supply, control, and communication between all parts of the model. In the final stage of the thesis, the model was assembled and initially powered up and communication with all systems was established to demonstrate the functionality of all components and the possibility of controlling the chassis both by remote control and by the autonomous control system.
