3/26/2021 0 Comments Successful Delivery!We spent this week tuning some parameters to optimize some of our movements, namely that of adjusting our gait to be able to handle larger packages. Then we put it to the test: we strapped a full size MacBook Pro 2020 box onto it to deliver to a customer (group member in this case). With its payload onboard, the robot was able to successfully deliver the package whilst traversing concrete, grass, and hills. We also performed another test, this time with the payload being a full can of Nestea. We started the robot at the top of a steep ramp to emulate some of the difficult terrain it would have to traverse in its intended environment. As expected, it was able to traverse the ramp, perform a turn/tilt movement, walk up to the customer, and deliver the drink. This was the last goal we wanted to meet, and we're super thrilled with our results. Now we're hard at work at finishing up the various deliverables that are due this week, namely that of our marketing video and group project poster. Our marketing video will showoff the various features and capabilities that our robot has including its many movement techniques (walking, turning, strafing, tilting) and abilities (stairs traversal, package delivery). Our group poster will contain a summary of our motivation behind the project, our final solution, and its build (mechanical design, motor control hardware, sensor implementation, and navigation/motion control software).
