Mechanical
Torque Recalculations ●Added min and max in walking motion.
Servos and Motors Selection (Walking)

CAD Drawings Cont. (Torso)
CAD Drawings Cont. (Lower Body) Lazy Susan Hip Design
Manufacturing ●Process o Get Stock Aluminum o Square it to dimensions o Bend into U bracket o Weld rod to 2 brackets (one on each side) ●*Welding Depends on Rob Kraynik(ME Shop Machinist) schedule. Easy task to accomplish; risk: lead time
Schedule (Manufacturing)
Testing Plans ●Torque Output: o Test the servo with the gear combination for the required torque output. ●Degrees of Freedom: o Measure overall range of each joint
Electrical
Expected Power
We plan on using a fixed 48V 32A DC supply to test the design and gain an accurate measure of current draw. Our power draw estimates currently assume a 4A draw by the servos For purely walking: Ptotal=20A at 48V= 960W | ~20A For tour scenario: Pwalk= 20A at 48V = 960W | 8A Pstand= 15A at 48V= 720W | 9A Ptotal=60%Pstand+40%Pwalk=816W |~20A Based on new information, our current draw will be less than 4A. Therefore our power required will be less than the worse case, which is less than 960W. If, we were to purchase a battery, our solution would be,
Wiring ●8 AWG wire used for battery to distro board ●8 AWG wire used from power supply to distro board (in place of batteries) ●18 AWG wire used for servo power (distro to servo) ●18 AWG wire used for servo control (microcontrollers to servo) o 18 AWG chosen to fit MOLEX crimp pins for servo connections ●28 AWG ribbon cable used for sensor wiring (power, data, I2C, etc.)
Servo Connections ●MOLEX Minifir Jr. series mates with Teknic servo power/control connectors o 4 pin for power o 8 pin for control

Sensors Force Sensing Resistor (FSR): FlexiForce Sensors: A201- Connector 3-pin male square pin Weight Range: 0-1 lb (4.4 N) 0-25 lb (110 N) lb (440 N)** **Weight range can be increased with the proper circuit layout We used the recommended circuit in the spec sheet and modified it
Sensor
From the manufacturer
Sensor RFID: At this time we have decided to not choose a RFID solution. Due to the scope of our project a RFID solution will be generated if there is time available.
Sensor Object Detection: Parallax Ping Ultrasonic and Sharp IR: We plan to use a combination of sensors for object detection in the path of the robot. Ultrasonic will provide long range and IR will provide close range detection.
Sensor Sharp IR Distance Sensor - GP2D12 Alternative Connector: 3 pin with analog output Detection: 10-80cm. Will require additional cable
Sensor Parallax Ping Ultrasonic: One of two options we are testing. Connection: 3 pin bidirectional TTL Detection: 0.02 to 3 m Concern: Based on testing, it may not have a fast enough response time. We are considering alternatives.
Sensor 25k Potentiometer Use as simple position feedback for the servos

Pandaboard
ROS for a Leg
Message Passing
ROS Stack
ROS Nodes
I2C - working! IMU - interfaced and reading data ROS - learned much, but still much to learn Simulation - learning ros, we have simple moving models working. Simulation - Currently working on interfacing controls, this will be applied to tigerbot when more is learned. Online teensy programming - works manually, working on automated script ROS intro tutorial - DONE! Teknic motor control update - Pulse Burst Positioning appears to be the best control method, the desired distance (rotation) is proportional to the number of pulses sent to the motor. 2 velocities can be preprogrammed. Work on ROS / CPU / Sim status
