  2. NASA and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Mass., offer a challenge, which involves making a sample collecting robot. In the beginning of June, registered teams will demonstrate their robots in a competition. The robot is expected to autonomously find objects in the field and return them to the base. We will use real time image processing to identify objects and obstacles while navigating. We will use encoders and other sensors to build a map of the field to facilitate the rover returning to the base. Abstract

  3. Geoff Budd (Mechanical Hardware): • Major: Robotics Engineering • CMPE 115, 9 years of experience as a machinist/welder • Amir Pourshafiee (Sensors): • Major: Electrical Engineering • CMPE 118, interfaced with pressure sensors in an internship • Sina Kahnemouyi (Navigation, Mapping) : • Major: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering minor • CMPE 118 (responsible for robot navigation), CS 101, advanced C, JAVA • Leonardo Bravo (PCB, Power Management): • Major: Electrical Engineering • CMPE 174, EE 171, CMPE 121, EE 157 • Samir Mohammed (State Machines): • Major: Electrical Engineering • CMPE 118, CMPE 100, C++ and JAVA • Tuan Ho (Image Processing): • Major: Computer Engineering • CMPS 101, CMPE 121, CMPE 156, 1.5 years of hardware debugging/testing at CISCO Division of labor and Qualifications

  4. Having the opportunity to compete with other engineering teams from all over the globe With the ever increasing reliance on robots in space, robotic projects with similar goals are becoming more important Promote interest in robotics and engineering at University of California, Santa Cruz Motivation

  5. The robot has to be able to navigate through an unknown environment and identify a cached object, while avoiding obstacles. This would be verified by testing in OPERS Field with an object that we have placed. Minimum Specifications

  6. Drawing diagram

  7. Block Diagram

  8. Acquire funding to carry the project Identify objects using the cameras Interface between computer and the microprocessor Implementation of the wireless pause switch Optimizing dead-reckoning navigation Primary Challenges

  9. Proposed gantt chart

  10. Budget

  11. Registration fee is paid • Some funding has been committed but not delivered • Charter, planning, and Gantt chart have been completed • Next steps: • Get lab space • Continue acquiring funds • Purchase parts • Continue research and complete the design Summary of Progress

  12. Given our diverse backgrounds, skill-sets, and the support of our mentors we will be able to successfully build a rover that meets the minimum specifications The success of this project will raise awareness of Jack Baskin School of Engineering and the University of California, Santa Cruz Conclusion
