P11017: Tactile Navigation Interface Christian Seemayer Rob Proetti Tim DeBellis Tim Giguere Will Kelly
Design Review Outstanding Issues • How does the device tactile perception become affected due to device and strap sensations? • Orientation of Servos as a perfect diamond • Stress Analysis • Housing displacement should allow translation • Servo-Arm stress due to Servo stall torque • Fatigue Analysis • Endurance Limit for Aluminum • Electrical Analysis concerns • PCB board with test points at all nodes • Size of PCB traces depending on current • 45° angles for PC trace corners • Battery Life based on % used during day • Use of keypad interrupts instead of polling • Heat Generation from internal components • Test Plan updates • MSD II schedule changes
Device and Strap Sensation Effects • Meeting at ABVI on 2/18/2010 with Alexis Read and Richard • What we discussed • Retested more tip designs out of curiosity with preference being large bowl shape (Screw head) • Concept of generating diagonal directions through pulsing • Directional Testing (2 Tests) • Basic Test • Armband and weight applied Test
What We Learned • Results: 100% accuracy from participants. • Extra sensations demonstrated no effect on accurate direction interpretation. • Direction recognition training quicker then expected. • Short (~1 minute)training period • Proper Training approach – Diamond Construction • Participants disliked diagonal direction idea • 4 directions good, 8 creates confusion. • Revamped analysis based on recommendations from Design Review • Put tiny clear dots on the buttons (For sale in Vision Shop at ABVI, 6 dots for $2)
Tip Redesign after ABVI visit • Switch from sharp point to more circular area. • Advantages • More blunt surface • Enables more pressure on skin • Larger surface makes it more perceptible to user
Adjustment of Servo Orientation • Servos oriented to create perfect diamond • Required pegs to be different lengths
Stress Analysis: Housing • Device Housing • Switched boundary condition from All DOF to fixed displacement in load direction • Accounted for translation that can occur. • Servo-Arm • Accounted for servo stall torque
New Housing Stress • In the Bottom: 482 psi
Servo-Arm Stress Analysis • Ignoring Stress Concentration • Stress of 6,637 psi • Deflection of 5.775e-3 inches
Team Interfacing Data • Completely new document • Review posted document on EDGE under Miscellaneous Documents
Test Plan Updates • Listed engineering specifications correlated to each test • Can be found under test description and on Specs Page • Addition of Test #3 – Electronic Component Testing • Aims to test individual components to ensure proper functioning before beginning assembly period • Eliminated Destructive Tests (Device Drop and Compression) • Moved up test dates in schedule • Rearranged testing order to account for test with similarities • Direction Relay Test to be conducted with Servo Positioning Test • On/Off Switch Test to be conducted in Week 2 or 3 based upon assembly
MSD II Updates • Test Plan Date updates incorporated directly into schedule • Created a more specific focus on machining of components • Created a focus toward part assembly times for both mechanical and electrical components • Rough Draft of paper to be started Week 3 • 75% complete by Week 8 • Final draft by Week 9 • Rough Draft of Poster constructed for Imagine RIT • To be finalized during Week 10 • Project Plan for MSD I has helped define each member’s role within the team and establish reasonable goals
Evolution of Overall Project Plan • Driven to focus on customer needs • Created specific and sometimes last minute alterations • Altered to account for switches in project design • Accounted for simplification of overall project goal • Device becoming stand alone with self inputs
Risk Assessment Updates • Thermal Effects • Electronic components fail to work • PCB does not act with circuit • Circuit does not match PCB • Outside tactile sensation impede user perception of directions • System noise distorts system signals
Where do we go now? • At ABVI meeting, design was discussed to ensure customer needs were still satisfied • All standing issues have been reanalyzed in the presentation • Design subsystems were reviewed and updated as a result • Currently all documentation is available on EDGE • From the BOM • What is available here at RIT and where? • What do we have to order? • Non-issues • Small lead times for parts (1 week is maximum) • Testing can begin as soon as components gathered • Current cost is far below $1,500 budget, currently only $428.31 • Is the project a “Green Light?” • If yes, when can we begin ordering?
