2  Goal:  Debug and complete the Wandering Ambassador robot for the Imagine RIT innovation festival.  Project Objectives:  Develop autonomous software  Complete upgrade to robot  Find and repair bugs Project Description:

3 Inherited Design Safety Chain guards Emergency stop buttons Bumper System Enclosure Transparent & water resistant electronics box Transport Collapsible handle Drivetrain disengagement Modularity Fully modular bolted connection architecture Sensor Suite Sonar Infrared Bump Photodiode GPS Accelerometer Moisture sensor Temperature Motor Encoders

4 Electronics Architecture Beagleboard Computer Motor Control Microcontroller Motors Shaft Encoders Plant Care Microcontroller Water Pump Moisture Photo diode Temperature Navigation Microcontroller Compass Accelerometer High Level Control / Decision Making Input / Command Interpretation Input / Output Devices

5 Navigation System  Successful detection and avoidance of objects in a 5 foot range  Integrates:  Servos  Sonars  Bump Sensor

6 Completed Improvements:  Sprayer Nozzles  Sonar Vision Increased  More Plants  Software Upgrade

7 Project Status  Design Meets Customer Needs  Mechanical Systems  Completed on schedule  Electrical Systems  4-5 weeks behind schedule  Software Package  Delayed due to Electrical setbacks  “Apathetic Wanderer” completed for ImagineRIT  Overall Cost: $500 under budget

8 Future Work  Complete electrical systems to allow for full integration of attached features  Further development of personality modules  Creation of outdoor home as a shelter for fully autonomous wandering  Social networking integration to raise awareness of self-sustaining energy  Complete thorough testing of features to prove robustness of design
