By: Gifty Sackey (Mission, System and Test Engineer)
Approved by:
– Lam Nguyen (Project Manager)
– James Lee (Division Manager for Mission, System and Test)
Level 1 Requirements
- The 3rd generation Velociraptor (W) budget shall not cost more than $102. This estimate is based upon the customer and project team agreement on October 7th, 2016
- The 3rd generation Velociraptor (W) biped robot shall demonstrate its capabilities during EE 400D Final for Wednesday on December 14, 2016 according to the CSULB Calendar 2016-2017 Final at 9:00 am.
- The 3rd Generation Velociraptor (W) should resemble a Velociraptor of the Theropodous Dinosaur Suborder. [1]
- The 3rd Generation Velociraptor (W) will use a 3DoT board embedded system.
- The DC motor can support the mass of the robot with a 50% margin
- The 3rd generation Velociraptor shall operate for a minimum of one hour with an external power resource minimum of 1560 mA-Hours.
- The 3rd Generation Velociraptor (W) shall use an external PCB with an I2C interface as the 3DoT board.
- The velociraptor shall use a 3DoT board library and utilize I2C to communicate with sensors, A/D converter, and GPIO. [4]
Level 2
- The 3rd generation Velociraptor shall weight no more than 350 grams
- The 3rd Generation Velociraptor (W) shall turn 0-360 degrees on one leg under one minute
- The 3rd generation Velociraptor (W) shall create custom commands to be used with the Arxterra Control Panel
- The velociraptor shall use the IMU MPU6050 that tracks acceleration and gyration that can provide X and Y angles to +/- 6.5 degree precision
- The velociraptor shall use a rotary sensor that tracks at 90 degrees’ precision to determine the position of leg. The leg position controls the head and tail location
- The velociraptor shall support the mass of the robot with a 50% margin, 522g in a 0 degree position (Footstep is down on the ground)
- The velociraptor shall support the mass of the robot with a 50% margin, 522g in a 90 degree position (Center of foot path on ground)
- The velociraptor shall support the mass of the robot with a 50% margin, 522g in a 180 degree position (Time before foot goes to ground)
- The velociraptor shall control the head and tail movement with a single servo using gear trains
- The head and tail shall use one servo that operates at an optimal torque of 18-45mN-m to maintain center of gravity
- The CoG on the axis of the H/T shall be controlled by one servo while being placed over the foot
- The velociraptor will not exceed a rating of 1A with the use of the LDO with the external PCB
- The velociraptor shall utilize custom telemetry commands that will be displayed on the Arxterra Control Panel
- The 3rd generation velociraptor shall walk on a flat surface
- The 3rd generation velociraptor shall walk on a surface texture
- The 3rd generation velociraptor shall walk on an incline and decline surface
- The 3rd generation velociraptor should perform dynamic walking while on a flat surface
- The 3rd generation velociraptor should perform dynamic walking while on a surface texture
- The 3rd generation velociraptor should perform dynamic walking while on an incline and decline.
- The 3rd generation velociraptor should perform dynamic walking while on a step
