= Project i wanna die plis |
|
||||
|
|
||||
== Project Description |
|
||||
This was but a sad attempt at making a "budget" [Slam] |
|
||||
(Simultaneous localization and mapping) robot-vehicle, with a time of flight |
|
||||
Lazer sensor.It uses the esp32 as it's brains (tons of io pins, 2 core, wifi & |
|
||||
bluetooth on chip,low consumption,etc.) and a arduino nano that acts as a slave |
|
||||
controling the drive tracks by taking commands from the esp32. |
|
||||
|
|
||||
== Working principal |
|
||||
The working principal behind the robot is based on dead reckoning meaning we |
|
||||
create the map as we go assuming we've started from position 0,0.Using the tof |
|
||||
sensor we get measurments from all directions (360 degrees) this happens using |
|
||||
the stepper motor along with the hall effect sensors so we the degree of each |
|
||||
measurment great so now we can bind these values (distnace,angle) to the |
|
||||
robot's postion.The problem with our particular platform was space limitations |
|
||||
and the fact that the tracks are moved by dc motors some solutions on these |
|
||||
problems would be if possible driving the tracks by stepper motors directly or |
|
||||
otherwise so we know exactly how many steps each track has made therefore |
|
||||
deducing the robots position or using photo encoders in the small dc motors |
|
||||
producing the same effect.(problems with bad are also very real and can throw |
|
||||
off our measurments but hey we're not supposed to send this robot on mars ) |
|
||||
Being able to determine our traveled distance and having 360 "accurate" |
|
||||
measurments of the space traversed would enable us to construct an algorithm |
|
||||
which by using these data could find a way to traverse the space creating a |
|
||||
map along the way. |

|

|
|
||||
== Difficulties & things to consider |
|
||||
- Acquiring location position in a room |
|
||||
- Getting accurate data from budget sensors with low resolution |
|
||||
- Calculating travel distance based on Dc motors |
|
||||
- Maintaning electrical connections between the two rotating parts |
|
||||
|
|
||||
== Problems that managed to get solved |
|
||||
=== - Getting angle of measurment |
|
||||
Solution: Using a Hall sensor and a magnet to find 0 degree spot & using a |
|
||||
stepper motor with known gear ratio so we know the step angle |
|
||||
=== - Power consumption |
|
||||
Solution: Used 2xcells 18650 batteries because simple alkaline batteries |
|
||||
wheren't up to the task |
