156A Week 10

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Status of Design: CAD models were drawing for both a camera mount for the sensors on the bar that is in front of the person as well as the LIDAR mount used to aid with autonomous driving.

    • LIDAR mount was printed and approved by the team as a prototype to do some tests with

    • Camera mount has yet been printed, but may be once they find a need

  • Status of Research and Design of the arm bar: 

    • Some bars were found on McMaster; however, it is uncertain which of them will best match what the team needs yet

    • measurements and ideas were jotted down

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • created CAD model for wheelchair with arm bar

  • created and 3D printed a rudimentary mount for LIDAR sensor

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Keep working on find parts for the arm bar design

    • Bars - Andrew
