During the discussion, we acknowledge there will be a huge time slip for sure. Two plan of attack are incorporated.

  • This document does not include anything other than drivetrain and arm.

  • The timeline served as a guideline for timelines, all the key members should meet to discuss the progress and actively update the timeline in this document.

There are a total of 4 main milestones that is defined.

  1. Sept 29th: Drivetrain complete

Definition: the drivetrain is presentable to any other member interested in seeing showcase, and @Yuchen Lin @Saheed Quadri are able to hand off the project to newer member to continue the development.

Tasks:

  • All motor switched to odrive

    • Piloting requirement: Odrive motor verified on the test rig on Tue.

  • Power system of drivetrain Redo:

    • use the 40A 24V buck and try to simplify the internal component

    • install jetson

  • Redo the rocker-boogie joint

  • Battery switch

  • Software fundamental basics

    • Odrive

    • sik radio with UART

    • Arcade controller

    • Speed Ramping

  • System manual describing the system of operation

 

  1. Oct 10th

Objective: simulation X complete and arm test rig complete, under the necessary modification to the arm

  • arm simulation complete

  • start FMU debugging with simulation X @software

  • arm test rig A2 testing complete

  • Billy, Eric, @Melissa Jacobs @Rayyan Mahmood grinding out and completing PDB new rev

 

  1. Oct 30th

Objective: Complete arm axis A1 & A2 & A3 and deliver to software and firmware to test. This is a demo for software to tryout the new arm and perform basic testing on it. Note: just these three axises should not fail at all so ideally software should get plenty of useful data for the future integration

  • A1 & A2 & A3 manufacturing complete

  • Arm board and arm firmware ready for testing

 

  1. Nov 15th

  • A4 & A5 & A6 complete

  • Fully tested the A1 & A2 & A3 operation

  • All axises integration

Acknowledging the incompleteness of this document, but this document served as a reminder for the key parts need to get done. Some example of important tasks but not in this timeline yet.

  • Gimbal + communication system

  • Science

  • 2 Foward object sensing camera

  • autonomy

  • Groundstation and Control

  • Control loop tuning
