STAIR CLIMBER ROBOT
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
By the end of this assignment, the student will have experienced the challenge of designing a simple system to meet a specific requirement, having regard for performance targets and taking into account resource and material restrictions
The student will have also participated in a team competition against other teams, in simulation of commercial environment.
The main “hard” outcome of the assignment will be a vehicle from each team that performs in competition with those built by other teams. The “soft” outcomes will be a report (and optionally a journal) that forms part of the student’s personal portfolio of work.
INTRODUCTION
This Project combines the working and manufacturing experience. It will provide the opportunity to members of the Group to work in a group environment.
The Project selected by Group “The Last of Us” is a stair climber. The idea of this project is to
Stair climber can be applicable in climbing unwanted obstacles and off roods with help of its unique tires. It can be applicable for the people who are in wheel chair to climb up stairs or even take up heavy load when stairs are involved.
PROBLEM
-
Our first problem is to maintain our budget which was given by the university.
-
Our components which we were using is difficult to find in the market
-
The design which we made is difficult to built
-
The wheel which we will make should be of proper dimension so that it can climb the stair. Otherwise it can slip or fall.
VISION OF THE PROJECT
The idea of this project is simple as it sounds.
Basically a sensor based prototype will start to act when it will sense some sort of obstruction in its way.
This project is purely based on research purposes and can be used as an idea for the beneficence of disable people. As their disability prevents them to take the stair.
This project can be furthermore improved and it can be funded in the future.
This project requires attention to achieve its goals.
On an industrial level, this project idea can be implemented to carry heavy parts of machines from one place to another. That will require a solid constructed project.
BENEFITS OF STAIR CLIMBER
The stair climber will be more helpful to the handicapped and worker because the wheelchair handicapped people used and the worker which they used the trolley are very limited in mobility. Besides, lots of budget is spent in construction to work out a special path. Sometimes it is hard or even impossible to build a path for old existing buildings. Thus, regular wheelchairs and trolley have problem entering these buildings. A stair climber which will help handicapped and workers to go over obstacles and staircase.
DELIVERABLES
What the project is going to deliver?
A robot that can effortlessly climb up and down stairs, as well as easily traverse uneven terrain, Stairs have traditionally been something of a nemesis to robots, and there is considerable footage of robots failing in the attempt, resolving this issue, allowing robots’ domain to expand beyond the ground floor, the ability to climb stairs and navigate human environments has been a major challenge for mobile robots, Traditional approaches of tackling this problem are too slow, require complex controls, and are too expensive for most applications.
Artifacts which project will deliver and how will it be delivered in terms of what user can aspect
A robot which moves freely in a building has to be adapted to an environment made for humans. On its way it may encounter small obstacles (up to 4 cm of height, e.g. door steps, sills etc.) and stairs. These stairs often have nosings or ledges and sometimes open risers. The slope of indoor stairs can vary between 25° and 42°. Sometimes you will find in residential buildings even steeper stairs, especially spiral stairs. In public buildings stairs often have a rise s of 17cm and a run a of 29cm (slope approx. 30°)
Wheeled rovers are the optimal solutions for well structured environment like roads or habitations. But off-the road, their efficiency is very dependent on the typical size of encountered obstacles that have to be overcome in a standard Motion mode. Which can typically overcome obstacles of their wheel size, if friction is high enough. Adding real climbing abilities to a wheeled rover requires the use of a special strategy and often implies dedicated actuators or complex control procedure.
COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS
Motor - The heart of our project
Wood – this will be the body of the project
Gear- to help to move the tire going
Chain- to connect the front and the back tire
Led- for fashion
Bearing – to make the steel rod roll freely without any resistance
Steel rod – to connect the tire with the body
SUCCESS AND CRITERIA
Success has always been the ultimate goal of every activity, and a construction project is no exception. Due to the ambiguous definition of project success and the different perceptions of participants toward this concept, it may be difficult to tell whether a project is successful as there is a lack of consensus. Time, cost, and quality have long been the success criteria used to evaluate the performance of a construction project. However, such a list has been criticized as not being comprehensive. Even studies of the project success of a particular construction method, such as the design/build procurement system, are lacking in most previous research considering construction projects in general. This paper sets out to establish criteria for project success for a design/build project in construction, first by identifying relevant measures of project success for a construction project in past studies, with particular emphasis on design/build projects, and then by establishing a comprehensive assessment framework for project success for design/build projects. The significant impacts on the construction field of study, in terms of educational value and practical use, are also presented. With little research in the project success of design/build projects, the writers suggest a research focus for the study
DEADLINE/APPROACH
The deadline of the project is 25 march 2017. We have 6 six weeks to finish the project and within the six the project will be tested many time before the submission and challenge. The following plan show how the project will be made the six weeks
COST AND BUDGET
Dealing with the cost of a project is a big challenge especially when it’s under a fixed budget.
The given budget from the university is AED 275, approx. (59.86 British Pound)
This proves that requirements of this project should be fulfilled within the budget with cost efficient components and tools.
