Project Introduction Build and program a robot Competition Requirements Size & Weight Safety Autonomous Competition Goals Accuracy Successful Task Completion Avoid Penalties Speed
Competition Task Specifics Four Cans One Can per Incoming Room Different Colored Cans Different Colors to Different Rooms
Competition Specifics Virtual Walls & Ceiling Best of Two Rounds Fastest Six Teams to Final Three Workers with Colored Coveralls
Team Organization CS Team Jason Abbett Devon Berry ECE Team Michael Hall Jeff Croxell Eddie Inlow
Hardware Design Outputs Four Motors Five Servos Inputs Three Light Sensors Three Sonar Sensors Two Optical Mice One CMU Camera
Initial Plan Use Line Following Light Sensors (Adjust Motors) Mouse & Compass (Backup) Use Vision for Rooms CMU Camera (ID & Center) Sonar (Grab)
Actual Implementation Use Line Following Straight Light Sensors (Adjust Motors) Mouse (Trigger) Use Navigation System Turning Mouse (Distance) Control System (Motor PID Control) Use Sound for Rooms Sonar (Center & Grab) CMU Camera (ID)
Software Design Main Module Sensor Fusion High Level Modules Control System Navigation System Arm States Grab Can Low Level Modules Input Interfaces Output Interfaces
Structure Diagram Legend Output Main Function High Level Low Level Optical Mice Navigation System Control System Motors Arm States LightSensors Sensor Fusion Grab Can CMUCamera Servos Sonar Sensors
Track Testing Half of total project time Several runs on track after each new code implementation
Integration Testing Integrate module into main function Do track test again
Day Before Competition Practice board in hotel Sign up for 30 minute slot Completed course twice Only three teams completed track
Competition Each team had two runs on the track After first run One 20 sec penalty for not attempting to grab one of the cans Placed 2nd out of 37
2nd Run Exceeded time limit Obtained one penalty Did not attempt to pick up one can (20sec) Placed 9th out of 37
Afterthoughts Claw worked great but was too much for this particular competition More light sensors Smaller platform and wheels
