Project Manager (Omar Mouline)

  1. Spider-Bot Preliminary Research Project.
  2. Spider-Bot Preliminary Design Document.
  3.  Spider-Bot Mechanism Research: When we design was assigned to us i did a little research on other mechanism to better understand the leg movement.
  4.  Blog Posts Table Of Content: All the blog posts link with a summary to faster access information.
  5. CDR Debrief: After the CDR we were given the grades and asked to
  6. Executive summary: Project objective, mission profile, and design change arguments

Electronics and Control Engineer (Kent Hayes )

  1. Spider-Bot Preliminary Research Project.
  2. Spider-Bot Preliminary Design Document.
  3. Servos and Motor Trade-off Study: Research and trade-off studies on different motors servos to make sure we made the right decision.
  4. IR Emitter/Detector Testing: Fritzing and connection of the IR system and test.
  5. IR Lens Study: since the IR emitter have a big range we had to use a lens to reduce the range of the IR emitter.
  6. PCB Design: PCB design for our Project.
  7. Motor Driver Control: we needed a motor control drive to control our motors.
  8. IR Trade-Off Study : trade of studies on different IR emitter detectors possibilities.

Manufacturing and Design Engineer  (Andrew Saprid )

  1. Spider-Bot Preliminary Research Project.
  2. Spider-Bot Preliminary Design Document
  3. Spider-Bot Alternative Printing for Small Parts: Research Made on different possibility on how to manufacture our design.
  4. Spider-Bot Cam Simulation: simulation of the first (Hex bug) Cam design.
  5. Gear Instability : we were able to find 2 type of gears on Amazon we test and tried both.
  6. Rapid Joint Connection (Between Gear and Leg): As part of the adjustment we had to do to the new design , we had to add a joint to our design.
  7. Simulation and New Design Parts simulation of the final design movement.
  8. Printing Time: The printing time show the options we have to respect our printing requirement.
  9. Gear Train: study and what RPM we need to receive 2 cycle per second.
  10. Leg Movement Angle Study: What angle we need so our spider legs can give us a correct walk.
  11. Design Evolution: how Brainstorming helped to improve our designs.
