Meet The Team
Phil Brady
Electronic & Electrical MEng Student
-
Project Manager
-
Lead RaspberryPi Programmer
-
Electromechanical Technician
-
E-portfolio/Website Manager
Primarily responsible for the design and build of the fuel cell retrieval crane, Phil also takes the lead on project management and
e-portfolio updating. Completing electronic and mechanical tasks also. A working understanding of Python and C/C++ and an ability to provide design solutions, ideas and problem solve issues as they arise have been his main contributions to the team.
Daniel Morris
Systems Engineering MEng Student
-
Systems Management
-
LabVIEW Programmer
-
Version Control Lead
-
Electrical Technician
​
Key contributions within this project have been the development of image processing software to map out the operational area and track the important objects in said area during operation. Dan also managed systems aspects of the project throughout including requirement and stakeholder management. Experience in utilising LabVIEW and knowledge of systems methods have been the main contribution to the teams’ knowledge base.
Charlie Guy
Electronic & Electrical MEng Student
-
Lead Mechanical Technician
-
System Integration Lead
-
Arduino Programmer
Main responsibilities include modifying the robot arm provided by reducing the number or servos by one and implementing an attachment as well as designing and implementing the rest of the fuel cell stabilisation system, assisting to build the e-porftfolio , writing code for Arduino modules and progressing the deployable bridge design. Charlie’s attention to detail and problem solving skills have helped to develop design concepts into working systems.
Scott Archer
Electronic & Computer Systems MEng Student
-
Lead LabVIEW Programmer
-
Mechanical Technician
-
Lead Design Engineer
-
Electronic Technician
The responsibility of moving the robots to their required locations has been Scott’s main focus throughout this project. This has involved using the two MyRIO subsystems to control the movement of each of the robots and a function to autonomously move them around the area to a desired location, which is done by programming in LabVIEW. Scott has focused on ensuring that this is done reliably and has worked on a variety of fail-safes to prevent any circumstances from preventing the vehicle from functioning.
Cameron Galloway
Electronic & Electrical MEng Student
-
Lead Arduino Programmer
-
Video Editor/Director
-
Lead CAD Technician
-
E-portfolio/Website Construction
Key contributions to the project have included the design and construction of any 3D printed or laser-cut elements of the robot, analysis of the surrounding environment through sound detection, design of the bridge deployment system and construction of the initial e-portfolio. Cameron’s thorough planning coupled with a self-driven attitude have aided the projects progression.
