  1. MAPPER: A Perfectly Portable Exploration Robot Rohan Balakrishnan (CSE)  Conan Jen  (EE) Andrew Lok (EE) Jonathan Tang (EE)

  2. Brief overview of our project. • The problem that we are addressing. • Our implementation of the solution. • Cost break-down • What we plan for demo day.  • Demonstration Overview of Presentation

  3. Reconnaissance is always important for the military and search and rescue teams. • With importance of human lives, robots are a perfect replacement. • Solution would be something small, and expendable.   The Problem

  4. Robotic platform capturing information about its surroundings • Wireless communication link will transfer data back to PDA or laptop • Transferred data is then used to construct a 2-D bird's eye view of the environment Our Solution

  5. CDR Specifications Specs met are in bold Scan scope: 20'x20' indoor room Method: Ultrasonic sensor mounted on stepper motor for 360 degree rotation Scan time: 5-15 mins (to complete 20'x20' room) Minimum detectable obstruction size: 1'x1' Wireless communications: 100+ ft Weight: 1-2lbs Expected Battery Life: 10 rooms per charge

  6. Flow chart of system

  7. Power • Hello

  8. PCB Layout

  9. Picture of robot 3.7'' diameter Min Operating Voltage: 3V Max Operating Voltage: 7V Powered by: AAA batteries (x4)

  10. Movement Initial concerns were going straight Had issues with both DC motors outputting the same Found that motor 1 has problems with speeds from 0-30 Added a digital compass to our system  Found method of calibrating and correcting heading

  11. How do we expect to demo? • Small model room with a few objects in it • A laptop set up for the GUI Demo Day

  12. Demo
