Safety and Reliability SerajDosenbach Greg Lammers Beau Morrison AnanyaPanja
Critical Safety & Reliability Issues • Safety Concerns • Sonar Sensor Failure • Motor Control Failure • Reliability Concerns • Servo Driver Failure • Switching Regulator Failures
Most Likely to Fail Components • HCS9S12A256 Microcontroller • Complexity • VNH3SP30 H-Bridge • High Current • LT1374 Switching Regulator • High Power Supply • AP1509 Switching Regulator • High Power Supply
Possible Improvements • Breakaway E-Switch • Acts as a “leash” • Add Stationary Logic Hub • Place microcontroller at stationary location
