For the past week, our circular UAV team : 1) Got the permission to access the Wind tunnel. 2) Set up a lab space for manufacturing. 3) CAD the model for molding the wings. 4) Contacted Fabworks for manufacturing. 5) Confirmed the manufacturing process. For the next week, we are going to submit purchase orders for parts, prepare models for …
Our group, Exosuit, has been seeking out different avenues of display to showcase our completed soft robotic upper body exosuit for rehabilitation and military uses. In doing this we have found that robotic competitions are more suitable for our end goal of taking the finished product to market. We are confident in our ability to perform well and win at …
For the past week, our Circular UAV team 1. Decided on a manufacturing method (CNC router) 2. Fully dimensioned details of the UAV 3. Decided to run wind tunnel tests on scale model, measuring different metrics such as coefficients of lift and induced drag. For next week, We will be finishing up the detailed CAD model for manufacturing. We will …
Last quarter during Finals week my team and I went to visit Mattel Incorporated in El Segundo, California. We were fortunate to meet with a few of the people in the digital department. They were very welcoming and gave us the run down on their company, their products, and the “phygital” (physical and digital) side of their company. We presented …
This week we received word that FSAE (our project competition’s governing body) approved our Failure Modes Effects and Analysis, FMEA, report. We’d like to start out with a thank you to all the team members who spent a whole week filling it out. The FMEA is a document with 112 different Failure Modes that can/will occur within the electrical system …
So here we are the first blog post. Yes a bit late but we will summarize what Rescue Robotics accomplished last quarter, where we are at now, and what the future holds. If you have any interest in joining our project read this post first to get an idea of what we actually do. Last quarter everyone was new to …
Our MATLAB team has been working away at creating a model that allows us to find the payback period for a fully solar model. We have also been researching how fuel cells work so that we can properly model the fuel cell component of the system. Fuel cells are complicated and only one of our teammates has taken the fuel …
As we come closer to the end of Fall quarter, we are excited to be prototyping!! After working on our research poster, as well as our prototype, we are also approaching the deadline for the submission of our application for WearRAcon 16!! EXOSUIT is working tirelessly towards the improvement our prototype by getting all the necessary components to be a …
I have been working on the preliminary poster while my team has been working on the CAD of our 2 design concepts. With the help of our advisor the poster has been changed quite a bit from my first version. Brennan and myself are working on the Cube Creator while Ian and Maria are working on the Smart Soldier. Brennan …
During Week 8, we took apart some of the exhaust system of the fuel cell to troubleshoot why this portion of the cooling system does not work. After electrically testing the exhaust fan, we found that the fan works but the potentiometer does not work. We have designed a solar panel array structure and are awaiting confirmation with our advisor …
