  • Giant Crawlers

    The new giant crawlers are designed to be 143% larger than the last year model, and more robustly. This new crawlers are able to run on the uneven field and steps more easily.

    • Powerful Actuators

    The robot has 4 maxon RE16+GP16A gearmotors and 4 DYNAMIXEL XL430 servo motors for crawlers and flippers. The servo motors used last year were some problems in quality. DYNAMIXEL XL430 servo motor is designed for robot applications. This motor satisfies the quality requirement. Moreover, this motor can read and control own torque by itself.

    3D-Designing and 3D-Printing

    This robot designed with 3D-CAD. When the mechanic assembled the robot, the mechanic could assemble easily.

    Some parts of the robot were made with 3D printer. Grips, which are consumables are one of them. We have to replacement parts for consumables, but anyone who has 3D printer can make this.

    Rapidly Processing

    We use NVIDIA Jetson TX2 as CPU and LPC11U35 as coprocessor. Jetson find hazmat labels by computer vision, transfer the camera's picture and voices to operator's laptop, and output the voice audio. Coprocessor read IMU and estimate attitude, controll motors and a character LCD, and watch the battery voltage.

  • Estimate Attitude

    Last year, the robot has no sensors and operator could not know robot's attitude. So this year's robot has a MPU9250 as a inertial measurement unit (IMU).

  • Triple Communication Route

    This robot has 3 communication routes between CPU and coprocessor, USB, I2C, and UART. If one route be disable, CPU and coprocessor can communicate via another route.
