ENGINEERING DESIGN BRIEF
ENGINEERING DESIGN BRIEF
In the Engineering Design Brief, the Department of Robotic Engineering and Department of Robotic Programming go over the purpose of creating a robot to disseminate a cure, the problem that the world is facing, goals for the project, and the objectives they need to complete in order to ensure the success of the project.
DESIGN PROPOSAL
The Design Proposal was presented to pioneers, Joseph Carpenter and Ellen Johnson, during Week 2. The Design Proposal goes over the design process of developing the robot, as well as the requirements and the constraints given in order to solve the issue being presented; disseminating the vial to save a scientist infected by the virus.
DEVELOPING THE DRIVE BASE
Both robotic departments started to progress on the development of the robot during Week 3 as the drive base was developed. The drive base for the robot is known as the structure that the teams will attach all of the other necessary parts. The drive base also contains sensors and wheels at the bottom so that the robot can move.
BUILDING THE ROBOT
During Week 4, the Robotic Engineering team worked on completing the assebmly for the robot that will disseminate the vialed cure, as Robotic Programming needs to test and complete the code for the robot by the assigned deadline; May 22
ESTABLISHING THE FINAL ROBOT
For week 5, after finally going through different revisions the robotics team completed the robot where the structure was finished and was programmed to start moving. The drive base was finally established along the claw, linear slides, and the overall mechanism for the doll being placed in the tube was developed and finished. Additonally, on the robot they confirmed to do a manual override with the autonomous code. Integrating both for the efficiency of the robot and solving the mission under 2-3 minutes.
