Overall System Design Multiple two “wheel” blocks linked with a flexible “waist”. 2
Sensors • Ping ultrasonic sensors • Mechanical touch sensors • Compass • Accelerometer? 3
Microcontroller • Arduino as main controller & sensor management • Pololu dual serial motor controllers • Considering Baby Orangutan as motor control 4
Software Work/Plans • Arduino main control, obstacle avoidance. • Motor Control - functioning • Avoidance simple “bump and turn” on test bed • Working on short term memory angle based. • Beacon Receiver/Simulator – functioning • Integrating compass with receiver • Testing integration on test bed 5
Mechanical Design • Multiple two wheel blocks connected with flexible “waist” • How many blocks? • Steering options • Tank Steering is problematic • Exploring waist steering mechanism • Wheel designs ongoing 6
Testing • Four Wheel test bed for software team to explore options • Platform team explores configuration, steering and wheel options 7
