There is a small general update for you all: The programming of our robot is underway and we are continuing to work diligently on the code. We are convinced that we will manage the Virtual Competition on time. In addition, all passports have now been applied for and the first … Weiterlesen …
This week we finalized our first gripper, repaired our robot again and managed to get ROS to communicate with the motors. Our gripper consists of two slots that move towards each other, with this we can take 6 plants at once. Our procedure consists of shaping the plants with our … Weiterlesen …
This week some of our team members met to advance the construction of our robot. For this purpose, the appropriate plexiglass was shaped into the ideal shape. We put a lot of thought into choosing the color and are therefore even more pleased that our final idea of using red, … Weiterlesen …
We are really happy because after we submitted the vision challenge we found out that we had successfully passed it. Now we can fully concentrate on the virtual competition, the modification of our robot and the organizational preparations for the competition in England. See you soon when we have news … Weiterlesen …
The vision challenge continued! Now you will learn about our preparations regarding the code. To do this, we carried out some calculations and took notes in order to ultimately write the finished code. We tried this out and of course checked it. At the very end we corrected the errors … Weiterlesen …
It was time to prepare for the vision challenge. First we assembled the kit we need for this challenge. This of course includes the camera but also the lipo, the brainboard, the motorboard and the USB hub. Once we had all that done, we dedicated ourselves to building the marker … Weiterlesen …
Now the hot phase begins for us. We first looked at the camera last week. To do this, we printed out the QR codes, cut them out to fit and finally hung them on a straight, smooth wall. To our delight, it works perfectly and without any problems. So we … Weiterlesen …
Over the holidays, we mainly worked on the hardware. We further developed the simas and started our gripping system for the pots. With the software, we got our pathplanning working and are now trying to make it drive. For pathplanning, we use ROS with Navstack to estimate and drive our … Weiterlesen …
After some tinkering we have already built our first prototype using mostly the parts from the kit since they make the robot easy to disassemble. As you can see we are currently using tracks in order to traverse the obstacles. Although the bot is quite fast, we are not yet … Weiterlesen …
Since the last blog post, we have successfully submitted the interim report for our project, in which we explained, among other things, our innovative idea and its technical realisation. We also included exact calculations, e.g. for the size of our parachute, and a current version of our 3D model. We … Weiterlesen …
