TEAM HELIOS
Janus
Based on a DaNI bot chassis, Janus is the robot designed to deploy the bridge system as well as detect any animal sounds. Janus integrates a webcam, MyRio, Sabretooth servo shields, Arduino sound localisation, ultrasound sensor and a number of servos performing different tasks.
Kratos
A heavily modified Tri-Track robot with an extended clear base will complete the fuel cell related tasks of retrieval and stabilisation. The combination of a one off, robust, autonomous crane, robotic arm, webcam, Sabertooth servo shields, MyRio, RaspberryPi and Arduino and 10 servos demonstrates high level system integration. The clear plastic base, a human factor consideration, allows users to quickly identify potential issues with components housed within as well as extending the available platform space by 196cm^2.
Zeus Base Station
Created in Labview with all of the necessary tools to complete the scenario and more. The user interface includes live video feeds, buttons for mapping the environment, battery and WiFi indicators, manual override controls as well as a image of the mapping array. The user interface will be easy to use and help the user complete any of the key system capabilities.
System Integration
Below is a graphical over view of each robot and how the hardware integrates on each platform. Arrows show the travel of information. It also indicates the closed loop of the system as the Iris over head camera picks up the robot location and feeds back to the Zeus Base Station.
