 # EMBR AutoBot
 
+This repository is dedicated to the development of EMBR and it's autonomy. Our goals this year is to get
+EMBR up and running through remote control, and eventually reach a basic level of autonomy. We plan to achieve 
+this through simulations and real world testing. By the end of the year we expect to be able to not only remote control
+EMBR, but for EMBR to be able to navigate a simple space, find hotspots, and log them, on its own.
