A10-06 Miniaturized Mobile Robot intermediate report Instructors: Quan Zhou, Ville Liimatainen Team: Miroslav Konopa, Miguel Alquézar Lázaro, Martin Němec, Alejandro Pérez Project Works in Automation and Systems Technology AS

Current Status of the Project 1. Pre-study of nano sumo robots 2. Choosing the components 3. Design of the robot 4. Strategy and programming 5. Assembly of the robot 2

1. Pre-study of nano sumo robots Goal: Get a basic idea of what is a nano sumo robot, how does it work, possible designs, components, working modes and strategies. Amount of work: During the two first weeks % DONE

2. Choosing the components Goal: Look for the different components, compare each other, decide which are the best ones and why and order them. Deadline: 5 – 10 – % DONE

3. Design the robot Goal: Know how to build the robot, the structure and how to assembly. Deadline: 11 – 10 – 2010 Actual status: Design of the first prototype done. We are now assembling this prototype so we can test different strategies and working principles in order to study subsystems functionality and improve the robot. 5 50% DONE

4. Strategy and programming Goal: Thinking about the combat strategy we are going to take and write a first program for the microprocessor. Deadline: 25 – 10 – 2010 Actual Status: We have discussed about different strategies and we have chosen the best to implement in the prototype. Now we are programming the microprocessor to implement the strategy. 6 30% DONE

5. Assembly the robot Goal: Assembly the components of the robot according to the design, programming and assembly the microprocessor. Deadline: 22 – 11 – 2010 New deadline: 17 – 11 – 2010 Actual Status: We have already started to assembly the subsystems of the robot and we also have the 3D CAD design. 7 20% DONE

Conclusion Complications: –Team management problems –Unfamiliar environment Solution -Working hard -Better communication -Better time planning and spliting work
