Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
The team is moving forward into final design and build phases.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
New covering idea that should give the full range of motion with little changes to the prior design.
Small change to leg linkages that should eliminate the singularity position.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Get a quote on framing structure, order, build. -Randy
Complete new covering design, request 3D printing quote. - Chase
Finalize linkage redesign. - Brian
Begin planning pseudo-code for Arduino. -Meagan
Finalize sensor decision, request quotes.. order if possible. -Chris
Build components. -All team
Spec and order motor. -Chris, Brian, Meagan
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
No meeting with sponsor this week, meeting at DJO headquarters Monday. Will update this section after.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Spec a motor using three different methods: virtual work, free body diagrams and computer software.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Singularity point when leg is fully extended.
Potential lead times on motors and sensors.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
N/A
Schedule
Currently behind schedule due to redesigns and slight roadblock with motor speccing.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
~$300 spent
~$2200 remaining
Progress on Report and Webpage
New photos uploaded to webpage, current CAD model uploaded as well.
Report rough draft has been returned, revisions are under way.
