Time at PFF

Camera Test Fixture For PFF: Follow

PFF: Follow was a tracking module that can be easily integrated into many different robotic platforms. It is used to integrate the following system like Gita into any platform. For this fixture software quality assurance was testing the viability of the module at different heights and angles. What I did was:

The results of this fixture was the SQA team was able to test the radar system on two different robots, the PFF Kilo, and the Husarion Panther. With these two platforms, the testing was able to continue and allowed for the public release of the follow and for the software to be confirmed

Some skills that I honed were:

Wheel Test Fixture for Kilo

PFF Kilo is a flatbed robotic platform that utilizes Follow for tracking in a factory environment. It is a 4 wheeled robot that uses all wheels to turn, proving difficult to test. The Software and Mechanical Quality Assurance Teams needed to have a way to test the robot without moving it, so I designed a wheel test fixture. What I did was: 

The results of this were the completion of the test fixture and allowing it to be used in the factory and lab so that the multiple kilos can be tested by different people in a smaller footprint. Furthermore, more of these dynos were built to allow for end of line testing.

Kilo Leg Design Finite Element Analysis Testing

PFF Kilo is a flatbed Robotic platform that utilizes Follow for tracking in a factory environment. To ensure the platform met the payload specification, the legs that attach the wheels to the turning mechanism needed to be assessed and optimized for their load to weight ratio. What I did was: 

The results of this project were the streamlining of the assembly methods, and the minimization of material for the machining of the part. Furthermore the model that was created is now implemented in the current prototype and in the concept images of the robot.
