TRANSCRIPT
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
