  1. Sensors and Programming Logic David Dominguez

  2. Goals and Objective • Build an understanding of • The Systems Engineering Process • Robot Design • Sensors and instruments • Example Scenario • Programming Logic

  3. The Systems Engineering Process • An iterative** process that translates simply-stated needs into complex systems • Phases of systems engineering process • Define mission requirements and constraints • Derive system requirements and constraints • Design subsystems • Loops** of systems engineering process • Requirements loop: Verify derived requirements match overall mission requirements and constraints • Design loop: Verify subsystem designs meet system requirements and constraints • Validation loop: Verify the overall system design meets mission requirements and constraints (Sellers, 2005)

  4. Systems Engineering “V” Top-down design, bottom-up realization (DOT diagram)

  5. Robot Design • Be mindful of mass properties • Weight & Balance • Size, length of arm, etc. • Design for stability • Divide and Conquer • Break complex tasks into smaller easier to solve sub-problems. • Use CAD to model your game field and your robot. • Maintain documentation even if your ideas failed. Lesson Learned

  6. Sensors and Instruments • An instrument reads signals converted by a sensor • Voltmeter reads the output of a thermocouple • Thermometer reads the displacement of mercury • A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be observed by an instrument • Thermocouple converts changes in temperature into voltage • Potentiometer • Infrared (IR) sensor • Ultrasonic range finder, etc.

  7. General Sensors • IR sensors • With programming logic you can differentiate colors to follow specific lines, determine size, shape and range of surrounding objects • Ultrasonic Range Finder • Uses sound to determine range and size of surrounding objects • Light Sensor • Photocell that senses light • Optical Shaft Encoders • Uses optics to measure both the position and direction of rotation of a shaft (radial/angular movement) • Potentiometers • Variable resistance for voltage gain control • Also useful to determine position and direction of radial angles • Can be used to calculate displacement velocity and acceleration • Accelerometer • Detects acceleration • Allows you determine direction, velocity and displacement of a robot

  8. Robotics Example using a Potentiometer to solve a problem • Scenario • Semiconductor manufacturer needs a robot to load and unload the Applied Materials Centura Avatar Etch machines in a cleanroom • Deliver the etched wafer to wafer inspection machines located at the end of the robots track • Reverse direction and repeating the same tasks in reverse • Repeat • Define Requirements and constraints

  9. Cleanroom Scenario Datum 15m 3m 3m Wheel has a circumference of 50cm c = π(dia.) • 1 Motor: Reversible, -100 to 100 proportional output range • 1 Potentiometer: Operating range of 0o-10800o • 1 rail mounted wheel 50cm in circumference, direct drive to motor& potentiometer • At |100| robot velocity = 2m/sec • 1 rev=360o=50cm of displacement; or 0.5m per revolution

  10. Question and Answer • Q: How do we determine robot position in cm and/or m?

  11. Question and Answer • Q: How do we determine robot position in inches and feet? • A: Read the potentiometer value and apply math.

  12. Question and Answer • Q: How do we determine robot position in inches and feet? • A: Read the potentiometer value and apply math. • Example: • Pval= 3894o; c=50cm; 360o per revolution • Displacement, d=number_of_revs * c • number_of_revs = Pval/360o • d=3894o/360o(50cm)=540.83cm or 5.4083m from datum

  13. Review of Position and its Derivatives • Velocity; v = d/t; more accurately v→=Δd/Δt • Acceleration; a→=Δv/Δt; units d/s2 or d s-2 • Jerk; j→=Δa/Δt; units d/s3 or d s-3 • Jounce aka snap; s→=Δj/Δt; units d/s4 or d s-4

  14. Cleanroom Scenario Datum 15m 3m 3m • Beginning velocity = 0 • Robot accelerates to max velocity at midway (1.5m) point between machines. • Robot decelerates to 0 at 3m and changes wafer cartridge • Repeat until the end where robot places etched wafers in the inspection bin • Reverses track and repeat the tasks depositing etched wafers at bin on opposite side

  15. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Theory Manipulated Variable (MV) Setpoint(SP) Process Variable (PV) (Wikipedia Image)

  16. PID Control • A PID controller • reads a sensor • computes the desired actuator output by calculating proportional, integral, and derivative responses • summing the three components to compute the output • Proportional depends on the the difference between the set point and the process variable (present error) • Integral component sums the error term over time • Derivative response is proportional to the rate of change of the process variable. It is a prediction of future errors, based on current rate of change. (National Instruments, 2011)

  17. Sample Motor Response Shows the step input and the motor response using a time constant value of t0 = 0.2s. The response of the motor starts out slowly due to the time constant, but once that is out of the way the motor position ramps at a constant velocity. (Wescott, 2000)
