Introduction
The purpose
of this project is to development an autonomous Quadrapod
Robot for the Inter-section Robotic Challenge. This progress
report discusses the progress I have made from January 23rd until April 27th in 2012.
Work Completed from January 23 until April 27, 2012
During this
period, I have made some research of Quadrapod robot has done as to learn
and gain knowledge on the architectures or infrastructure that been used to
build this robot and I have a sketch of the robot. Second, I have made surveillance on component that will be use to implement into the structure of the robot, but I still difficulty to purchase the component cause of the component too expensive. By following my schedule, I suppose have started to implementing
my design into the simulation but I still did
not get any result yet.
Work to be completed by July 30, 2012
Within the semester break, I will to buy the component bit by bit according to my financial budget. I
must choose the best component and need to perform detail research for the item that I ave choose. Then, I will use this component into the simulation to get the
result, as I will be completed it before 1st July 2012. After I got result from the
simulation, I will proceed to the next step which is to construct all of the component and hardware. But first, I need to find a coding to program the robot as the result form the simulation, then I will construct all the component with Peripheral Integrated Circuit (PIC). The PIC will be programmed as to control the robot performances. After that, I will get the result from the constructed robot, then I will compare it with the simulation. I will make some re-check if the performance doesn't meet the rule and regulation of the competition. Lastly, I will make the analysis
and conclusion for this project.
Problems Encountered
During the
research finding the information, there are many journals I found in internet
about the Quadrapod Robot which have taken most of my time by reading the
journal to understand about the robot architecture. Next,
I have difficulty to find a suitable component for my design cause most of the component is expensive. I need to perform some research before I purchase any of the component. Then, I getting a late updates regarding the changing of rules and regulation for this competition, which I realized a week before the presentation was held. This project is out from my previous schedule which I will need to use
my semester break to catch up with the schedule.
Conclusion
Now, my research
project is over my schedule, if I not catch up my schedule maybe there much
problem will be come and make my project not done in next semester at
presentation project. To overcome this problem I should use my holiday to catch
up my schedule. If you have any questions or concerns with this project, please
