Task Description
A new carbon fiber drive-train will be manufactured by the end of Spring 2023.
Our drive-train uses the rocker-bogie linkage as our suspension system, but there isn’t much team documentation on how the current dimensions for the links were chosen.
Therefore, in the spirit of better documentation and improving on our current design, calculations & simulations should be done to justify our choices and ensure good performance of our drive-train.
Task Breakdown
Read through literature on optimization of rocker-bogie linkage
Define clear design goals/constraints for our drive-train
Perform kinematic/dynamic analysis & optimize our linkage design
Create detailed documentation on how the rocker-bogie linkage works, its kinematic characteristics, and how the optimization was performed
