  1. ECE 477 Final Presentation Team 7 Spring 2013COST Robot Eric Osborne, Bryan Dallas,Andrew Loveless, Caroline Trippel

  2. Outline • Project overview • Block diagram • Design challenges • Individual contributions • Project demonstration • Questions / discussion

  3. Project Overview • Design and build a compact robot to traverse a maze • Use the robot to generate an ASCII representation of the entire maze • Convert ASCII representation to a graphical image, using C# host software • Mark light locations on map as they are discovered • Revisit lights intelligently throughout the maze in a pre-determined,user-defined order

  4. Block Diagram

  5. Design Challenges • Small packaging • PCB design • Long-range IR sensor accuracy • Motor-control for precise navigation • Effect of battery charge on motor behavior

  6. Individual Contributions • Team Leader – Eric Osborne • Team Member 2 – Bryan Dallas • Team Member 3 – Andrew Loveless • Team Member 4 – Caroline Trippel

  7. Team Leader – Eric Osborne • General peripherals selection • Power subsystem design • Parts approval • Schematic / layout design • PCB design • Fuel gauge implementation • Robot body construction / soldering • Final testing/debugging

  8. Member 2 – Bryan Dallas • General peripherals selection • Schematic / layout design • Code initializations for peripherals • Final Tremaux algorithm enhancements / debugging • Integration of C# host software into USB protocol code • Algorithm to revisit lights • Robot body construction • Final testing/debugging

  9. Member 3 – Andrew Loveless • General peripherals selection • Microcontroller selection • Microcontroller definitions / initial module testing • Power subsystem design • Schematic design / layout • PCB design • Robot movement/control • Final testing/debugging

  10. Member 4 – Caroline Trippel • General peripherals selection • Microcontroller definitions / initial module testing • Initial USB code for sample application • Pin declarations/initializations • Initial Tremaux algorithm development • Robot movement/control • C# host software for map generation • Final testing/debugging

  11. Project Demonstration • An ability to detect proximity to maze walls and prevent wall collisions. • An ability to find specific locations in the maze based on the placement of colored lights. • An ability to turn and change direction of movement. • An ability to generate an ASCII representation of the explored maze. • An ability to transfer stored ASCII map to a GUI program on a desktop computer via USB.
