This update outlines the current state of our robot's design, focusing on locomotion-related requirements and sensor data acquisition challenges. While most sensors are functioning correctly, compass data translation issues persist. The robot shell components have been fabricated and painted, with the top and front installed and front mounts ready for chassis attachment. Formal platform testing procedures are under development, following significant progress on the shell and sensor integration. Milestones over the past weeks highlight key developments in design, control implementation, and verification.
E N D
Current State of Design • Robot is capable of meeting all locomotion-related requirements • Sensor Data Acquisition • Compass data not being translated correctly • All other positional and plant sensors reporting data correctly • Shell • Shell pieces made • Top & Front trimmed for fit and sensor/plant clearance • Top mounted in final location • Front mounts made, not yet attached to chassis • Rear & sides unmounted, untrimmed • All pieces painted with design scheme • Formal Platform Testing • Originally a project requirement • Platform reconstruction took precedence • Formal test plan methodology developed • No formal test plans run • ImagineRIT platform validation
