Project Arm

Overview:

• The objective of the project

Requirements:

• At least 4 DOF
• 5 kg payload carrying performance (static and dynamic torque)
• No motor overheat
• Ability to move freely in 3D space
• At least able to reach a workspace area
• Control mode
  • User direct input through the joystick
  • Given two points in space and move
• ROS 2 package for advanced motion planning
• camera feedback for the operator to view

Constraint:

• On-going discussion: the current arm spec is way under the calculation(Need to re-evaluate the current situation)
  
  • The software will not be able to integrate the ARM(mech side) soon (software tightened timeline)
• The integration and the next step of development might be to try out and re-evaluate and then make limited improvement
  • Impact: need to evaluate the performance and establish constraints based on the observation

Nice to have:

• Able to switch end effector and accomplish the competition requirement action
• For carrying mission offload payload to a storage area and transport

Interface:

• User command input:
  
  • joystick
  • Position control input
• Output:
  • User camera feed

Design validation discussion

• Arm system road blocker
  • Communication with Austin on the way
  • Need to consult with people with more realization about the system
  • Company (anoop's help?)

Architecture: (will be updated after motor respec and system reevaluation)

Insert mechanical model picture here(if possible)

Insert a system diagram:

• Main electrical components
• High-level software controller
• introduce how each part interact with each other

Insert a software sequence diagram:

Timeline

• define major milestone(decouple all the parts)
• three stage
  • design
  • MVP
  • cleanup
• Demonstration date
• Link to subteam tasks lists and assignee document
