Robot: “Emerson” • Autonomous robot capable of using wall outlets to recharge itself
Structure • Circular plan • Two drive wheels • Forward and rear wheel casters • T-Tech and bandsaw for balsa platform and motor mounts • Dremel, bandsaw, drill press for LCD, IR, bump sensor mounts
Sensors • Bump sensor plates • Radio Shack switches • IR sensors • Sharp medium-range sensors • Electromagnetic • Currently, hacked Stanley stud finder
Behavior • Obstacle Avoidance • Bump sensors • LS, LF, RF, RS differentiation • IR • Crossing or not • Fuzzy logic speed control
Conclusion • A little behind schedule, but coming along well • Next: • Fully develop EM sensor • Build XYZ stage • Integrate
