 Michael Welling  PhD Candidate  ICARUS Vehicle Engineer  Ben Wasson  Masters Student  ICARUS Business Manager  David Gitz  Electrical Engineer  ICARUS Lead Engineer  Steve Warren  Computer Engineer  ICARUS Communications Engineer Team

Topics:  Applications  System Description  Capabilities  Development Progress  Q&A

Vehicle

 Quad-Rotor design – Offers simpler control system with fewer moving parts than a single rotor helicopter and minor reduction in lift capacity

 2 “Brains”, 1 SoM Board and 1 Parallax Propeller TM uC  SoM handles waypoint navigation, mission planning, vehicle health.  Propeller TM uC handles PWM generation.  In the event of an in-air mishap, Propeller TM uC can take over Vehicle and land safely.

 Sensors: 3-Axis Accelerometer, 3-Axis Gyroscope, 3-Axis Magnetometer (INU), Digital Compass, Altimeter, GPS, 5 Ultrasonic Sensors  Power: 4 Brushless DC 200 Watt Motors, 2 Lithium-Ion 11.1V 5 Amp-Hours Batteries, 4 18A Electronic Speed Controllers, 5V and 3.3V Linear Voltage Regulators.  Control: SoM Controller (Primary), Propeller Controller (Secondary), custom PCB.  Communications: Xbee Radio for Command/Control, Video Transmitter, Wi-Fi (Field programming, tentative).  Fabrication: ~50% COTS, ~50% produced by MakerBot.

Forward Yaw Pitch Roll CW: Puller CCW: Pusher CW CCW CW

 Custom PCB inside Xbox-360 Controller  Features Mode and Error Display, Vehicle Battery Indicator, Force-Feedback and 5 hours of continuous operation.

 Communications: XBee Radio for Command/Control  Input/Output: 9 Switches/Buttons, 2 Dual- Axis Joysticks, GPS Sensor, 10-Segment LED, LCD Screen, Vibrating Motors.  Power: 2 Ni-Mh AA Batteries, 3.3 and 5V Boost Converters.

 Includes computer, touch-screen monitor and batteries for field operation.  Communications Radio and Video Receiver  Heavy-duty field transportable case GCS

 GCS offers extended range – up to 3 km  Interface designed in LabView  Google Earth integration with Internet connection

 Software: National Instruments LabView integrated with Google Earth mapping software.  Power: 2 12V 26Amp-Hour Batteries, 120V AC Power Inverter, Vehicle battery fast charger.  Communications: XBee Radio for Command/Control, Video Receiver

 Used for Vehicle Calibration and Capacity measurements  Able to Pivot vertically, rotate continuously and pitch/yaw/roll on Test- Fixture Assembly  Power applied to Vehicle via Slip-Ring – No tangled wires Test-Stand

 Using XBee API Mode, Vehicle, GCS and RCU all talk to each other  RCU and GCS can extend flight range of Vehicle due to API mesh network.

Capabilities - Planned Manual Control via RCU or GCSSimple Calibration and Testing via Test- Stand Limited Autonomous Navigation via RCUError Display on RCU and GCS Waypoint NavigationForce-Feedback on RCU Automatic Takeoff, Hover and LandingVehicle Health Reporting Capabilities - Future Real-Time Video Transmission to GCSImage Capture Wireless airborne programmingAdvanced Hover modes Vehicle Status Audio via RCUExtended System Duration Configurable PayloadsTerrain Following

 Range: ~1.5 km LOS (~3km with Xbee Mesh Network)  Duration:  Vehicle: ~12 min (80% Throttle)  RCU: ~4-6 hrs  GCS: ~4-6 hrs (including field charging Vehicle)  Speed: ~2 - 4 kph  Weight: ~5.5 lbs  Size: 35” x 35” x 7”  Propeller Rotation: Max: 10,000 RPM  Vertical Thrust: ~7.8 lbs
