  4. Previous Design History • Culture Shock I 2009 • Culture Shock II 2010 • Vulture I 2011

  5. Previous Design History • Performance • Low center of gravity • High Power 24V motors • Low moment of inertia • High-performance computer systems • Cambered wheel design • Dual Chain tensioners • Safety • Gel Batteries • Reliable E-stop • Audible & Visible alerts • Speed-limiting via Motor Controller

  6. Previous Design History • Reliability & Maintainability • Durable materials • Modular construction • Passive sensors • Small footprint • Increased maneuverability • Ease of testing

  7. New PlatformDesign Process • Reduced Camber angle to 7⁰ • Revised Suspension for more durability • Built Sensor Test Cart for sensor development • 12VDC Monitor eliminates inverter • Continuous design improvement

  8. New PlatformDesign Process • Built Sensor Test Cart for sensor development

  9. Stereo Vision System • Low cost web cameras. • Open source stereo vision software (Emgu, C# wrapper for OpenCV)
