This document summarizes several projects completed by Chun Ho Wong between 2014-2015 including calibrating sensors, developing a walking robot called "The Spider", building models of cruise control and adaptive cruise control systems using Arduinos, and creating an autonomous "Rocket Turtle" that could track and retrieve colored objects using a myRIO microprocessor and LabVIEW software. CAD drawings and prototypes were created for each project.
Project Introduction
- 1. Project Introduction Chun Ho Wong
- 2. Content • Calibration of Different Sensors (2014 Fall) • The Spider (2014 Fall) • Experiment on Cruise Control & Adaptive Cruise Control Systems (2015 Spring) • Rocket Turtle (2015 Spring)
- 3. Calibration of Different Sensors (2014 Fall) • Calibration of an Infrared Distance Sensor • Calibration of an Accelerometer • Calibration Based on Limited Recourses PXI-1042Q Chassis
- 4. Calibration of an Infrared Distance Sensor • Data Sheet was provided • Infrared Distance Sensor was placed on the top of the tube • Using three different setup to calibrate
- 5. Calibration of an Accelerometer • Only knew the output signal was frequency • Had to develop a calibration method • Developed a relationship between gravity and the output signals
- 7. The Spider (2014 Fall) • A walking mechanism • Focusing on mechanical parts • No microprocessor involved (No programming algorithm involved!)
- 10. Prototype
- 11. Experiment on Cruise Control & Adaptive Cruise Control Systems • Built two vehicle models • Involved Arduino Uno microprocessors • Developed PID controller algorithm
- 13. Prototype
- 14. Rocket Turtle (2015 Spring) • Involve a NI-myRIO microprocessor (LabVIEW) • Three wheels • Two sprocket Chains – One controlled the direction. Another controlled the forward and backward motion • Two Modes: Mode I – Manually control by a Xbox One controller Mode II – Automatically capture a tossed color object
- 15. Software Logic (Mode II) Track the position of the tossed color object Predict the landing position Calculate the angular deviation between the object and the camera Calculate the position difference between between the object and the camera Send signals to servo motor and two DC motors Rocket Turtle begins to move to the object
- 16. CAD Drawings (Using SolidWorks)
- 17. Prototype
