  1. Omnidirectional Robot Senior Design 2010 Group 01 Members: Team Leader: Seth Beinhart Peter Martinson Joshua Clausman Advisors: Dr. Nicola Elia Matt Griffith Client: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Iowa State University

  2. Purpose • To build a third omnidirectional robot for Dr. Nicola Elia’s research on cooperative tasks in distributed robotics • Robot design should be simple enough so that additional robots can be easily produced • To create collaborative tasks for three robots which support the direction of Dr. Elia’s research Omnidirectional Robots – Senior Design ‘10 Beinhart ,Clausman, Martinson

  3. Legacy Robots – Kryten & Dalec • Strengths to keep • Small profile • Software system • Limitations to overcome • Computational limitations • Motor power limited • Wheel production • Computer hardware not in production Omnidirectional Robots – Senior Design ‘10 Beinhart ,Clausman, Martinson

  7. Requirements • Computer and Software • x86, Linux, integrate previous system, overcome comp limits, I/O board, IMU, PC/104+ • Wheels • Easily reproducible, omnidirectional • Electrical • Variable motor power, old battery swap • Physical • Size, Weight, Speed, Acceleration Omnidirectional Robots – Senior Design ‘10 Beinhart ,Clausman, Martinson

  8. Requirements Changes • Dropped • I/O board – due to compatibility and integration time • IMU – Still in project and tested on bench, not mounted • Variable motor power supply • Requirements changed mostly due to equipment failure and lack of integration time Omnidirectional Robots – Senior Design ‘10 Beinhart ,Clausman, Martinson
