On the first day of March, water leaked into the robot and destroyed many components. We spent a lot of time after this resoldering and re-epoxying different parts of the robot. We also ruggedized the electrical ports in order to prevent future leakages. This is when we decided to implement the temperature and humidity sensor. …
The CS team is quite self-sufficient when it comes to running pool tests. New to this semester, we’ve greatly increased the number of pool tests we’re running. Our goal is three per week: Friday morning, Saturday, and Sunday. So, it was not great news to get a (literal) wakeup call on a Friday morning. As …
One issue we faced often last semester was that the ports for the ethernet cable we used for our tether were corroding. Additionally, we used a PoE switch to power the cameras on the robot, but this would get very hot very fast, so we wanted to switch to another method to power the cameras. …
Our robot uses three different sensors to keep an eye on its internal and external climate and other factors. The first sensor we use is the voltage sensor. This sensor constantly prints the onboard voltage of the robot. This sensor is connected to the same arduino as the pressure sensor. We use the pressure sensor …
In robotics, the dance of problem-solving takes on a rhythm akin to a complex symphony, where each instrument must perform in perfect harmony. This past year, I had the privilege of orchestrating a project that sought to interpret acoustics using a robotic system equipped with hydrophones. Our goal was simple: develop a method for accurately …
At the beginning of the year, recruiting is very important for Duke Robotics. In years past, our introductory meetings have entailed an onboarding process to introduce students to their respective subteams. For electrical, we’ve always been combined with the CS subteam on an introduction to ROS with Turtlesim. While important to electrical, we decided to …
