I am a final year Electrical and Electronics engineering student interested in learning and working with robots. I love the work you guys are doing. How can I join your team and volunteer remotely? I will be glad to contribute. Cheers
Very cool design, I notice the scooter motors for the primary drives. Those are super durable. Are you using simple potentiometers for feedback on the arms wormdrive boxes? I know you said encoders but I just haven't seen three wire encoders before. I notice the wheels look like they have different cambers, Is that adjustable? Just a solid design!!! Good luck
I don't like seeing this while I know people are starving to death and struggling to make ends meet. It really makes me think about wealth inequality and how these kids probably don't know what they are doing or contributing to like soldiers at the age of 18. Hopefully, this comment can stand out enough to make them see it and think about who they want to be and how they want to be remembered. They have the knowledge many people have. I know it doesn't feel like it after you work so hard to learn so little, but what these kids have that most people don't is the funding. Use that funding to help people, not make more money for yourselves. Please. (You'll make more in the end that way anyway I promise)
No need to be rude, a waste of money and parts, maybe, or maybe they now know how to desing the next life-saving robot ? Or a drone that can autonomously deliver and pick up organs for transplant. Who knows what they gained from building this. Incurage them down the right path, not the wrong one.
Pretty cool, one question, why are all the movements jerky? Is it tunable so that the motion is a gentle acceleration to start/stop? Would also prevent wear and tear from sudden force being applied/stopped.
@@RamKethar They mention it has PID control. Maybe its overall lack of stiftness resulting in some vibration in the move acelerations. Its very hard to make a stiff arm with so many joints and the suspension of the rover + backlash of all joints interfearing.
Meanwhile at the other WSU (Wichita state university) all we have is ant weight battle bot team... Of course we do have a lot of rockets and airplanes so we'll still be able to smoke you from high altitude. Good luck!
You have to pay a multi thousand dollar entry fee to get looked down upon by wealthy people who will get positions based on nepatism and the frat they were in. Start your own company, you can make a manufacturing company easily as a llc then get your local sellers permit after forming a llc and getting your ein. Avoid paying tax on everything you buy, your driving is a buisness expense, and start selling your whatever and manufacturing it, and you don't need to do what they are doing. Catch is you're gonna learn the hard way more than you want to. *If you're in the United States* (oligarchy) (sucks I can afford internet and complain right!? 😂)
Arm needs work. Read.... -Soft Robotics (SoRo) "Design of a Lightweight Soft Robotic Arm Using Pneumatic Artificial Muscles and Inflatable Sleeves" -Preston Ohta, Luis Valle, Jonathan King,1 Kevin Low, Jaehyun Yi, Christopher G. Atkeson, and Yong-Lae Park.
@@twt000 there is very little play in chains and belts if done well, they are commonly chosen over gears (belts especially) due to reduced backlash. Soft robotics wouldn’t benefit this all that much, the arm needs to be rigid for drilling purposes. Also soft robotics and artificial muscles are still quite a long way from being useful, they tend to be a lot weaker and more complicated to control.
