We went back to work with the IR sensor and LED, but with a few adjustments. We added another IR sensor and LED to the robot; the first sensor to the left and the newly added sensor to the right. Since this is similar to the other time we worked with the IR sensor and LED the first time, we copied the code from our previously-written programs DetectTurnMove and SerialYunMove, and added some new code. With our new program, TwoIR_6_29_2015, the robot was able to move and avoid objects on its own.

LED and IR sensor wiring diagrams
We used these figures from pages 238-239 in the book "Robotics with the Boe-Bot" as reference for wiring the LEDs and IR sensors


Goal
  • Make the robot move autonomously by adding to it a second set of sensor and LED
Program written
  • TwoIR_6_29_2015

Winter Internship 2019

Winter Internship 2019 January 02, 2019 In January 2,   since I already have a robot to work on, this internship I am planning to use this opportunity to maintain the robot by comparing the speeds and the load in the robot to make it more stable. January 07, 2019 During the summer internship, I had to make several changes to the robot and it was really hard to switch the idea between one technique and another. So this time I decided to learn 3D designing and build the 3D design of the robot. It will help me to manipulate the robot by using different function. January 08, 2019 On Wednesday, I spent the whole day learning 3D designing. January 10, 2019

Summer 2 Internship 2018

07/05/2018 Zachary managed to finish redesigning the extending claw. While the overall mechanism is now smaller than the original, it still has some of the same issues; the claw itself is too bulky and two motors may be needed to raise or lower the arm. After building the prototype for the launcher Deepa started working on the launcher by attaching it to the base. the base that I built using mecannum wheel and four motors for each and to increase the speed of the motors I used the chains and sprockets. 07/09/2018 Zachary is working on a prototype for the arm's turntable and lifting mechanism. Depending on the length of the lifting mechanism, he should be able to mount the arm on or near a corner of the robot. This should help resolve any mobility and dimension issues presented by the original approach, as well as make loading the launching mechanism easier. The lifting mechanism's concept can be described as "a glorified lever." The extending claw will be ra...
