Current Project:
Systems Engineering Project 1

1 / What

Design and Navigate a complex arena using the AgileX Limo Robot.

2 / How

Utilizing Systems Approach to achieve seemless integration of multiple different disciplines. (e.g. Mechanical Design, Electronics, and Robotic Software (ROS1))
Designing Obstacles inspired by real world objects to challenge Sensors on the robot
Optimizing and utilizing the full capabilities of the LIMO Robot's software and hardware to navigate past complex obstacles that are within it's capabilities

3 / Key Takeaways

Understanding of Integration between different subsystems
Synthesizing, analyzing and comparing alternatives and selecting most appropriate alternative for given situation
Utilizing design software and techniques to create dynamic obstacles
Utilizing ROS1 programming to control movements
Utilizing hardware on AgileX LIMO to accurately navigate and avoid obstacles

Arena designed and fabricated:
Fullerton themed arena

What the Limo Records and sees when all arenas are put together

Skills utilized: Collaboration - Working with my team fostering open communication and seamlessly sharing information, working together towards a common goal Time management - Allocating sufficient time for each part of the fabrication process, so as to achieve mission success Systems Engineering - Utilization of 6 steps of System Approach for the integration of different disciplines, Electrical Engineering - Utilization of Arduino board for dynamic obstacles such as a traffic light and servo motor for a gantry Mechanical Engineering - 3D modelling and Designing of arena design 3D printing of parts for obstacles such as casing for traffic light Fabrication of Arena walls required cutting of materials which required tools such as hot wire cutter and bend saw ROS1 Programming - to control movement and sensor data
