A Libre/Open Office spreadsheet BOM file has been added that lists sources for the required parts totaling around $1500. The main rails are made from 3"x3"x1/4" aluminum angles, with 1/16" aluminum angle used as replaceable wear strips on the corners...
At the QUT Robotics club (QUTRC) we are dedicated to fostering innovation and providing students with hands-on learning and practical experience in robotics. The Australian Rover Challenge is a prestigious competition that brings together university...
Leakage control is very important in this vehicle, which operates with a nominal 48V BLDC motor. The insulation control on this electronic card is provided by coding it with the STM32F103C8T6 microprocessor. This card, which works with the logic of...
Inspiration:The SolarSurfer project started because we were looking for something cool to do. Being surfers and engineers, the project was a perfect fit. When we first started, we had no trouble finding the right microcontroller, sensors, GPS,...
Motor/Servo selection In my search for a suitable motor I came across the HBS 880 BB MG brushless servo. Hobby servos are a good fit for this project since they are relatively cheap, lightweight and already include a gear train. Also the splined output...
Media Inspiration and/or examples of working principle I found this video which shows how the slider would ideally perform, just that you can press down on it and it can be set to allow movement "infinitely" in either direction. Tetrinsic is the merge...
Architecture and components PDMSS's constituents are a rover and a UAV. Here, I've explained both of them in detail. The roverBlock diagram:3-phase code execution sequence (rover):Main Components•myRIO-1900 – The main board which controls the rover....
Abstract We propose an automated guided vehicle (AGV)-based logistics transportation robot with a fork-type manipulator that are efficient in delivering various and small goods on the shelf. The proposed robot system can be divided into a main server...
Introduction As the proportion of logistics costs gradually increases, various logistics technologies are being developed to obtain price competitiveness of products through reduction of logistics costs. Especially, due to the successful commercialization...
It’s been almost 16 years ago when I’ve made my first Robot, A simple line-follower one. Since then, I was constantly dealing almost every time with Motors and their issues personally within the teams I was working alongside, Observing how crucial they...
This is the entry video for the Hackaday Prize 2020. It briefly shows the history of the project, the current state and the concept behind it. I hope you enjoy! Challenge Monitoring and observing life is an important aspect of getting an insight on the...
What's it all about? Background This project started initially as a sidekick during my industrial design studies. In 2018 I stumbled upon the Hangprinter project which had an unique cable-driven motion system. Instantly I understood the potential of...
The basic idea is to increase the positional-resolution of an analog-output encoder by looking for *crossover* between various multiples of the input-signals... E.G. the first obvious crossover to detect is when channel A crosses over its inverse. In...
