The Systems Engineer put considerable work into a computer aided design of thephysical structure of the robot, shown in Figure 1, including redesigning and personallyfabricating the legs to make them lighter than those created by the independent study team. Hisdesign was solid and went above the requirements, developing a motorized system to raise theprimary distance sensor (a laser rangefinder) from the top of R2’s head. Figure 1.

A Honeywell Experion DCS system was purchased forthis purpose. This DCS system is much less bulky than its predecessor, the TDC3000, whichuses predominantly 10base5 cable with BNC connectors, and is commonly found in manyrefineries and chemical plants. A major factor contributing to this reduction in bulkiness is theHoneywell Experion’s use of CAT5 Ethernet cable in place of the TDC3000’s bulky and stiff10base5 coaxial cable connectors, which allows this system to be implemented using equipmentfound in a typical campus computer lab.

The students are taught to design hardware interfacesthat use microprocessor chips, and write firmware using C and assembly. The textbook used bythe course is Embedded C Programming and The Atmel AVR, 2nd edition written by R. Barnett,S. Cox, and L. O’ Cull.The course website can be found at 7. It is taught in two parts, with the first half of the semesterconsisting of lectures and lab. Lectures (3 sessions, each 50 minutes) are used to teach lessonscovering basic functions and sensors with a corresponding lab each week (1 session, 3 hours).Some examples of sensors

This was accomplished by interrupting the robotexecution of the script, removing ball(s) from the environment, and then informing the script ofthe fault. This need to create a fault was due to the conservative behavior of the robot. Thisbehavior was necessary due to hardware limitations such as a limited accuracy of the visionsystem, and communication delays.
