3/19/2021 0 Comments Time for ActionWe've completed the programming side of things and are finally ready to run the robot! Since last week, we've implemented the battery so that it can now run all on its own without the need for external power. We've also integrated the casing for the electronics as well as a box for the payload, to protect it from the environment: As you can see from above, we've cleaned up the electronics and wiring to give the robot a cleaner and more robust look. Now that the controls code is complete, we can perform all the desired movements such as forward and backward motion, strafing, turning, and tilting. Furthermore, we can traverse a wide range of terrains such as grass, concrete, and hills. One of our major goals was to navigate a set of stairs: As you can see, we were able to successfully traverse this set of stairs that we constructed for the robot. It combines its various movement capabilities, namely that of forward movement, tilting, and slight turning, to climb the steps with ease. Overall, we're very happy with our progress as we begin to wrap up the project. Next week, we hope to fulfill our final objective, which is to successfully deliver a sample payload to a customer.
