1. Trenton Andres Jamis Martin Jay Zifer Brad Nowak

2. Packaging Design Outline  Project overview  Similar Commercial Projects AMiR Jasmine Micro-bot  Packaging Specifications

3. Project Overview  Swarm of 8 identical wheeled robots  Each robot (agent) follows a set of simple behavioral patterns  The robots work together to accomplish tasks through emergent behavior

4. Commercial Projects: AMiR  Uses IR for sensing distance  Lacks: Ambient Sensors Wireless capabilities  Smaller motors than our GM3’s  Slightly smaller packaging  Octagonal

5. Commercial Projects: Jasmine  Same IR arrangement  Lacks: Wireless capabilities  Very Small  Pager motors  Bent “Box” Frame

6. Packaging specifications  Base Plate: Hexagonal (2” sides) Aluminum  Caster front wheel  2” Standoffs for PCB

7. PCB Footprint  PCB Space is a premium All possible SMD/SOIC parts  Small Separate “hat” PCB for the Wireless modules Avoid interference Avoid Overhanging Module Save border real estate
