Incorporating IMU and Lidar on 4-wheeled car for Feedback Control

Jillian Naldrien Pantig

For SURP 2021’s Week 6, I incorporated IMU and Lidar sensors to the car with a tank-drive system. Currently, the Lidar acts as an obstacle detection at the front of the car wherein it would stop when it detects an object less than 130mm. For the IMU, it only shows the yaw values in degrees using the...

[Video] Swarm of Robotic Paper Cars Controlled over a Diverse Mesh Network

Bhavik Joshi

Yesterday, Jill and I were able to successfully integrate the mesh network with three of her paper cars. We were testing the ability to send instructions to multiple vehicles over the network. Since our 433 MHz packet radios in tests would send messages within three milliseconds and the painlessMesh...

Tank-drive and Steering with origami robots (cars from rocolib)

Jillian Naldrien Pantig

For SURP 2021’s Week 5, I created a car in roco and equipped with a steering system. Last week, I made one that has a tank-drive system. Tank-drive system: Controlled using a Webpage -- Forward, Backward, Left, and Right buttons Steering system: Controlled using Sudarshan Seshadri's Dash (Rea...

Computational Design of Planar 3D Structures -- Buckling -- Intermedium Results

Chang Liu

Part 1: Correcting Y Direction Deflection Y direction deflection correction Following last week's blog post, I modified our design tool. The new results show a better match for y-direction deflection. Here are some of the results: 1. FCFC, clamped on longer edges, forces on shorter edges...

Computational Design of Planar 3D Structures -- Buckling -- Intermedium Results

Chang Liu

1. Here is the intermedium results: plane stress of a CFFF rectangle plate, with uniaxial load The magnitude is the same, results are close (at least visually). Stress u direction displacement v direction displacement (results do not match well, but this is not the direction of interes...

Computational Design of Planar 3D Structures -- Buckling -- Intermedium Results

Chang Liu

There are three steps I will take in order to implement this design tool: Step 1: Verify I operate correctly in FEA (Solidworks Simulation). In order to do this, I will use some existing numerical solution and/or analytical solutions to find out critical buckling load. Then I will apply this criti...

Buckling in planar 3d structures -- Intermedium results

Chang Liu

As mentioned in the last blog post, there are two steps in solving buckling problems The first step is to calculate plane stress in the system. This step converts external load (in-plane load) into stress distribution in the plate, so as to be used later in the second step (buclking analysis) T...

Computational design toolbox for in-plane behavior in 3D structures with planar surfaces

Chang Liu

Here is the design toolbox that I am currently implementing: Currently, I am implementing potential energy in plane stress analysis. The direct outcome will be the in-plane displacement and stress distribution. As soon as I get those results, I will compare them by: (1) using simple cases such a...

IROS paper demo

Chang Liu

There are two things I would like to demonstrate: We can rapidly complete iterative design, for a device that failed initially. We can predict failure ahead of time. There are more things I would like to show: - A. Our design tool can be used on different materials Isotropic ma...
