In the last weeks we thought a lot about our camera detection system. We had an idea to find the middle point of all cans, so we can drive to this point and pick up all cans at the same time. We do this by finding the middle point of … Weiterlesen …
Last week we redesigned our superstar so that it now has an emergency stop on all sides if it falls off the lifter-SIMA. In addition, it now has enemy detection and can move on its own with the help of a monowheel. Also, we solved a specific problem with the … Weiterlesen …
In the last week we managed to get the camera detection to work. That means, we can now detect ArUco tags from a distance and tell, how far they are away from the main lens (see video). The next steps are to calibrate the camera more and to make the … Weiterlesen …
We managed to create three individual robots, as you can see on the picture. The left one is the current prototype of the superstar – it will be lifted by the right robot in the picture – our lifter SIMA. For testing purposes, we use the middle SIMA to test … Weiterlesen …
In the last week we managed to get a camera to work with our raspberry pi, that will detect ArUco markers in the future. This currently doesn’t work like we want, but it already detects aruco markers in the camera stream. We plan to use this feature with the cans, … Weiterlesen …
We finally handed our tower to the “Hochschule München”! It was transported in a makeshift cardboard box so that it would not only be protected from potential damages but also curious stares. When we carried it openly through our school, we had to endure a lot of people intensely staring, … Weiterlesen …
Over the last few weeks we spent our time building SIMAs. We now have a larger SIMA, which we are currently using to test how we lift the superstar onto the stage, and a smaller SIMA, which we use for general testing. We have also already tested the speed of … Weiterlesen …
This week we attached a lock to the robot’s case. We also sawed out a hole for the emergency stop switch on the wooden case and then attached the emergency stop switch. We checked whether the robot was able to fulfil its tasks. This included the ability to drive over … Weiterlesen …
The hardest part of building the tensegrity tower was finding a starting point and understanding the pattern of the structure of the 3D model we used as a reference. The strings kept shifting around at first because some weren’t attached as strongly as the others. It was annoying to tighten … Weiterlesen …
We finally started building our tower by beginning with the Chinese Tower part that is supposed to go on top. By gluing toothpicks or skewers together, we formed many hexagons, which, as we know from last year’s project, are especially sturdy. You can see these in the picture below. We … Weiterlesen …
