  2. Background: Tours of Armstrong are vital in recruitment… it Can Be Extended • Multimedia Display • Insight into Facilities and Capabilities Objective: Design a collaborative robotic platform to aid in recruitment. Design Objective

  3. Hello My Name Is RoScoE Ambassador Assistant

  4. Safety! • Multimedia Interaction • Body Language • Facial Expressions • Speech Output • Approachable & Friendly Appearance • Mobile • Expandable Design Requirements and Features

  5. Assisting Robot Functions

  6. Robot Safety: • OSHA[1]- Robotics • Awareness Barrier Device • Presence Sensing Devices • Emergency Braking • Audible/Visual Warning • Controls that initiate power or motion are constructed and guarded against accidental operation. Safety Standards

  7. RIA: Collaborative Robotic Standards http://www.plantengineering.com/industry-news/top-stories/single-article/safety-and-control-in-collaborative-robotics/6fec60e21f303fa660c81bb2584236f8.html Evaluate Work Environment

  8. Shared Space Safety • Stop motion in shared space • Plan tour positions with safety in mind A A R Wall R Tour Safety

  9. Key points • Undergraduate Institution. • Wide variety of research and design projects • More ideal classroom size (18-24 students) • Interdisciplinary projects • MUSE Program • State of the art equipment Tour Planning

  10. Safety! • Multimedia Interaction • Body Language • Facial Expressions • Speech Output • Approachable & Friendly Appearance • Mobile • Expandable Mike

  11. Hilare-type configuration • Forward/Reverse direction functionality • 0o turning radius • Stability during operation Wheel Arrangement

  12. 102 lb-ins torque • 94 RPM • Max speed of 6 ft/s • 13.98 A, 12V • 19.1:1 gear reduction • Weigh approximately 14 lbs. Dayton 1Z831 Gearmotor Motor Selection

  34. Rasp. Pi LLC Raspberry Pi For all the Physical Control Systems (Interfaces w/ WiiMote and Laptop) Lights Run via SPI, used for warning PWM Controller Runs servos and ESC Rangers Prevent Collisions Accelerometer Stops system incase of tip-over LEDs PWM Controller Rangers Acceler-ometer System(Signal)

  35. Speakers Laptop Screen Main Laptop Runs Face/Speech/Presentation Speakers Used for Speech Output and Warning Touch Screen Displays Face Also allows interaction System(Presentation)

  36. SLA Charger Battery 12v, 70a Sealed Lead Acid batteries Utilized because of high-capacity to price Dual Battery Setup for distributed weight Kill Relay Used to physically cut off power 5 volt regulator Powers the Raspberry Pi and logic circuits 7.2 volt regulator Powers the servos 120VAC Inverter Powers the Laptop, Screen, Speakers Kill Relay 5v Reg 7.2v Reg 120vac Inverter System (Power)

  37. Raspberry Pi Bluetooth Presentation Face Speech LEDs Rangers Laptop Motors/ Servos Accelerometer Software Control Locality

  38. Run Presentation on Facial Screen • Slides, Videos, Photos • Presentation run from MP4 • Videos directly played • Slides are freeze frames Presentation Software

  39. Face run from custom shapes inOpenGL • Allows for smooth, dynamic face • Also allows for 3D models if expanded • Voice generated from eSpeakTTS Library • Utilized touch “buttons” on screen sides for interaction Facial Control
