SOECS Senior Project Demonstration
Abstract/Artist Statement
We have built a robot that is similar in function to a Mars rover. We gave ourselves similar constraints to those faces by a team designing a rover to explore another planet. An example of a constraint we accounted for is communication latency. When communicating over such a great distance there is a delay. This requires the rover to be somewhat autonomous and driven by commands instead of direct control.The rover is to navigate mild terrain, collect temperature and humidity data, and take pictures. The rover is controlled wirelessly from a command station and is to send the collected data wirelessly back to the command station.We will be demonstrating the robots functionality and describing the process used to implement the various aspects of the robots design.
