2021-04-24 Meeting Minutes - Arm - Concept Base Requirements
Defining Constraints
- 48V electronic motors (ideally)
- 10kg max payload
- 360° rotation on axis 1 mechanically, although rotation may be limited by software later to avoid interference. designing for 360 degree just gives us more freedom
- 4.5 (1.37m) foot vertical range above ground
- ESTIMATION: chassis height of 12" above the ground (0.3m)
- Horizontal range ~ 1m
Arm framework decisions
Concept drawings: https://jamboard.google.com/d/1Jx3NyBNadsGU9r_877ugtH8psP3tkL-3kGA6XgaEvCQ/edit?usp=sharing
Joint Configuration
- 6 DOF arm
- Linear actuator for 2nd joint
