P09029: Robotic Hand Improvement Casey Dill (ME): Lead/Mechanics Arthur Connors (EE): Control System Andrew Torkelson (ISE): Test Development Dr. Kathleen Lamkin-Kennard: Guide/Sponsor
Concept Description and Rationale • Electrical Concepts • LabVIEW • Control System Development • Outputs to SolidWorks Model • Outputs to Physical Prototype • Control System • Movement Accuracy – Position and Speed • Feedback Considerations – Accommodating for Delay • Outputs to Both SolidWorks and Prototype Using Same VI • Component Familiarization • Relay Boards, Relays, and Data Acquisitioners (DAQs)
Current State of Design • All software has been installed on a computer • Eli* from NI. His latest email indicates academic license may be an issue. • Limit at getting SolidWorks and Labview working together set to 2 weeks, or switch to a different software package. *Eli SeidnerApplications Engineer, National Instruments.eli.seidner@ni.com | (512) 683-0971
Milestone Schedule • Primary Deliverables • Computer simulation of common joints. • Prototype that demonstrate accuracy of the simulation. • Sub Deliverables • Week 2: A test stand. • Week 3: A working simulation software. • Week 5: A simulated joint without accurate forces. • Week 7: Simulated forces in simulation. • Week 10: Working, accurate computer model.
Milestone Schedule • For the next two weeks: • Continue emailing and calling Eli S. (Casey and A.J.) • Design the test stand (Casey and Andrew) • Create a preliminary control system for the test stand (A.J.)
