Rimless Wheel Project Update Week 4
What are we doing again? Current prototype -> • Can move down an 8 degree incline • Non-ideal construction Our job: • Improve wheel design • Make robot autonomous
Customer Needs • Periodic motion • Walk at least 25 steps • Endure several trials on one charge • Be portable • 0.05 - 0.1 Cost of Transport (CoT)
Customer Needs, cont. 6. Collect motion data • Angular velocity • Angle between wheel and frame 7. Collect current/voltage data • Batteries • Actuators
Design Ideas Outline • Frame materials • Actuation • Spring • Axle • Sensors • Batteries
Design Ideas, cont. • Data storage devices • uProcs + ADC • motor control • data acquisition
Frame materials Frame • Plate • Truss structure Composite Materials • Fiberglass • Carbon Fiber Metals • Aluminum • Steel
Possible Invitees to SDR • Dr. Gomes • Mr. Edward Hanzlik • Mr. Leslie Moore • Dr. Slack • Dr. Sahin?
