Mockup, Motor Lab and Sensor Lab

The design mock up and two labs gave us a good insight into what our system will look like and what are the challenging aspects about working with sensors and actuators.

System Demo #1

Feb 20 2019

In system demo #1 we demonstrated a prototype of our localization subsystem. A set of 6 TOF sensors are connected to a STM32 micro-controller; the sensor readings is sent to host PC via serial; then a custom triangulation algorithm processes these signals and outputs an estimate of the chassis' relative position with respect to the guard rail corner.

HEBI Arm Assembly

Feb 22 2019

We created a mock up arm installation according to our proposed configuration to give us an idea on its mechanical dimensions. We will use this prototype to determine if we need to manufacture links with customized length.

System Demo #2

Feb 27 2019

For system demo #2 we demonstrated a prototype of granular jammer, commanding motor controllers, particle filter localization, initial arm assembly and device type recognition using trained neural networks.

System Demo #3

Mar 20 2019

System Demo #4

Mar 27 2019

System Demo #5

Apr 3 2019

For this demo we demonstrated the final chassis assembly with fully integrated E-Box and partial electrical connection wirings. We also demonstrated our localization algorithm running in VREP simulation environment, a mission file parser generating instructions for the robot and PID tuning of the new chassis motors.
