GPS Considerations

  • Primary Concerns

− Accuracy, Interface

  • Secondary Concerns

− Cost, Refresh Rate

  • Tertiary Concerns

− Power Consumption, Acquisition Time

slide-7
SLIDE 7

GPS Models

  • Magellan ADU5
  • Advantages: accuracy (90 cm), interface (come in

housing with ports)

  • Disadvantages: cost
  • Magellan DG16

− Advantages: accuracy (70 cm), refresh rate (20 Hz), cost − Disadvantages: interface (comes only as board)

  • Novatel ProPak-V3

− Advantages: accuracy (0.45m), refresh rate (20 Hz), interface (housing w/ 3 serial ports & 1 USB) − Disadvantages: cost (~$8000)

Tires

Weight: 200 Lbs Tire Radius Max Speed RPM 10 inches 5 mph 168 12 inches 5 mph 140 14 inches 5 mph 120

  • Coefficient of Static Friction ≈ 0.3 (Car Tires on grass)
  • Coefficient of Rolling Friction ≈ 0.06 (Car Tires on grass)
  • Force needed to overcome rolling friction ≈ 53 Newtons

Steering

  • Analyzed

− Tracks − Passive wheels (Caster Wheels) − Rack and pinion

  • Chosen

− Passive wheels and differential steering

slide-11

Traction and Steering

  • Advantages

− Cost Efficient − Simple design

  • Disadvantages

− Hard to control at high speeds

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Propulsion

  • Motors Selection

− Weight − Speed − Acceleration − Number of driving wheels − Radius driving wheels − Coefficient of rolling friction
