Mission Statement
Design and prototype a robotic device to transport a low energy tablet to charging station for reenergizing.
Milestone
• Finish PDS Document• Decide final concepts• Finish BOM
Product Design Specification
Traveling over hard surfaces and carpet.Ability to turn up to 180°Wirelessly travel up to 40 ftEasy to maintainEasy to interface the tablet to the robotCharge the tablet when docked
External ResearchRoomba Robot
Pros Auto navigating system Auto detect docking and recharging 40ft wirelessly travel and 180 degrees turn
Cons High cost ($350) Require extensive modification
External ResearchLine following technology
Pros Low price Easy to build
Cons Require specific route Not appropriate in room
with many objects
External ResearchEZ – Robot Kit
Pros Easy customize Friendly interface software Affordable ($218)
Cons Require additional board
to control motors
Internal ResearchChassis Designs
