Title Search and Rescue Quadruped Robot
Supervisor R. Selmic
Description The task at hand will be to build a scaled down search and rescue quadruped robot used for human retrieval. The device should be able to navigate irregular terrains taking advantage of its legged mode of locomotion. It should also be able to simultaneously map its environment and navigate it, avoiding any obstacles that are on its path. The path can either be controlled manually by the user or by the onboard navigation system (by setting a way-point to a location in 3D space), thus incorporating autonomous operation. Mapping information could be provided beforehand if available.
Requirement Knowledge in control systems, operating systems, servo motor control, microcontroller programming, CADing and part manufacturing, 2/3D environment mapping, forward and inverse kinematics
Tools Power supply, Multimeter MatLab, Computer with ROS environment, Solidworks 3D printer
