Abstract
Course Level: GE-492-494, Senior Design Project I & II
Mechanical Engineering Faculty Advisor: Dr. K. Pashin Nikaaien
Computer Science Faculty Advisor: Professor Gordon Jenkins
Students: Michael Carr and Christina Welk
The development and implementation of a unique and aesthetically appealing robotics development platform has had a broad range of benefits. The academic impact alone has spanned virtually every aspect of mechanical engineering and computer science, to such a phenomenal degree that it has become impossible to enumerate just how much we’ve learned. The design process has relied on the extensive use of numerous development tools including finite element analysis, solid modeling, iterative numerical analysis of heat transfer systems, design for six sigma, unified modeling language, software engineering and architecture design, C++, and object oriented programming. The finished unit uses local and remote processing power to combine user and sensor input, making it capable of performing a broad range of tasks. Furthermore, with the capacity for modular expansion, this robot is able to support an almost unlimited range of operating modes and future upgrades.
