List of Sensors and Actuators

List of Sensors and Actuators

When I first got to the lab, I was told that one of the robots is missing. The robot that is missing is the small one and the one we are supposed to assemble. So for this first task of listing sensors and actuators, I am going to describe the other robot (P3-AT) the big and already assembled one.

Actuators:

·         4 motors, one for each wheel.

·         2 servos in top of the robot, assembled in order to have 2 ways of movement ideal to put a camera on top of it.

·         A motor that moves an endless screw that fulfills the function of gripper.

 

Sensors:


  • Rangefinder laser, this device makes a scan of what is in front of it within its range of operation and gives the posibility to build a map of what is near the robot.

Changing the subject, the hours that I am available to work are also Monday and Wednesday from 1 to 2pm and from 5 to 6 or 7pm, Friday from 1 to 2 pm, and 3 to anytime. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available from 5 to anytime. And also on Saturdays I could be able to work in the project. May be in some of this hours I might not be able if I have to work in any class project. Goodbye.
