UUGRV The CSUF Unmanned Utility Ground Robotic Vehicle Advisor: Dr. Jidong Huang
Goal • Autonomous Robot for daily tasks • Precise, efficient, reliable, consistent • Apply our research on other robots
Mechanical Design • Use of wooden platform • Use for testing, cheap, easy modifications • Chain Drive • Cheap, easy to switch ratios, robust • Two motors drive with casters • Sharper turns, better control
Controller & Motor • Electric motors • Silent, no pollutions, precise control • Efficient and powerful using neodymium magnets • Torque: 1920 oz-in, 3HP; Light weight: 3.8 lbs. • Dual channels motor controller • Controls two motors simultaneously • Precision driving
Modular Design • Easily disassembled • Transportation, storage, replacements • Wide range of utility modules • Blade, stretchers, brooms,… etc.
Electronic • Single Board Biscuit Computer • Receives signals from sensors • Sends control commands to the microcontroller • Micro Controller • Transform serial signals into PWM • Sends signals to motor controllers • Router for wireless control • Sensors • GPS • IMU • LMS
Control System • Fast Heading response vs accuracy • Adjustable acceleration • Kalman filter • Allowing sensors to compensate each other
High Precision Dynamic Intelligent Obstacle Detection Algorithm(HPDIODA) • Developed for applications that requires high precision obstacle detection and avoidance
Safety • Due to the power of this machine, safety is our first priority • Remote Laptop • Remote Radio Control • Emergency Stop Switch • Indication Light
Work in Progress • Apply tight integration using our IMU and GPS • Manufacture aluminum chassis and carbon fiber protection shell • Implementation of Microsoft Kinect
