WEEK 4

PREFACE TO WORK 

One of major part of the project is maintain a data base which is  contain the  accelerometer  reading data.  To collect the data it is required a proper setup and autonomous system to collect the data and store them in a proper manner.

PROGRESS

The collected data were analyzed to find the obstacle's distance from the robot. But  in the experiments the distances were measured form the tip of the antenna . For the same material (PLASTIC) two separate data sets were taken at two different distances such that 100mm and 200mm away from the antenna tip. 

 A solid work design has been done for the prototype setup. A material for the antenna  and also  materials to test  were selected. A NYLON rod  was selected as the antenna material and it was 400mm in length. The diameter of the antenna is 11mm. The following materials were selected as the test materials.

• Brace 

• Steel 

• Aluminium

• Wood

• Plastic

• Glass

DESIGN

Here the Figure 04 and Figure 05  are  shown  the  sketch and the SOLIDWORK  design of the test unit.

RESULTS

The following file shows how the time domain and frequency domain signals were differ with the variation of the distance.
