P12202:Tigerbot II Team: Eric Walkama, Jeremy Jensen, John Seybold, Jon Cormier, Kyle Backer, Matt DeCapua and Mike Thomas TigerBot System Problem: To design and build a humanoid robot platform capable of human like movement, autonomous operation and interaction with people and the world. Objectives: Human like motion (walking, balancing, recovery from fall) Ability to operate autonomously for 30 minutes Robot frame capable of withstanding a fall Take voice and other commands Platform capable of extension by future teams Electrical Design Mechanical Design Roboard RS-1270 High Torque Servo (35 kg-cm stall) Custom Sheet Metal Brackets ¼” aluminum rods Final CAD Concept Powerboard schematic Computer Components System Overview Battery Pic Roboard 110 w/ lUbuntu and ROS Lynxmotion SSC 32 Ultrasonic Maxsonar EZ0 Sharp Infrared Sensor Results: Currently, the TigerBot is capable of standing on its own as well as performing various actions involving the arms. Additionally, the TigerBot can stand on it's own while balancing. The TigerBot is 48% taller than Robonova, but cost only 40% more. Room for Future Improvement: Improve walking algorithm Add hands/manipulators for improved interaction Wifi/GPS and other methods or robot commands
