3. Robotics Engineering Integration of many curriculums Mechanical, electrical, computer engineering Worldwide robotics market is big! Challenge: depth and breadth
4. Pain points from educators Cannot teach “system design” in short time Isolation of different fields Cannot deploy to embedded hardware No defined curriculum
5. What can we deliver? C Code Dataflow Textual Math Simulation Statechart System-leveltools for design Integrated platform Direct deploy to embedded systems
6. What can we deliver? System-leveltools for design Integrated platform Direct deploy to embedded systems FPGA LabVIEW Desktop Microprocessors Real-Time
7. What can we deliver? PXI Systems System-level tools for design Integrated platform Direct deploy to embedded systems Custom Design Personal Computers CompactRIO SB RIO
9. In reality… Really messy Lots of stuff to integrate And you don’t even know if it works Need to simply the problem Levels of abstraction Don’t get lost in the “details”
11. The graphical approach Vision Ultrasonic Microphone GPS LIDAR Object Tracking Avoidance SLAM Navigation PID PWM Closed-loop control Fuzzy Control Adaptive Control
16. Case study: holonomic robot Rotation matrix calculation Simultaneous PID for 4 motors Laser rangefinder for obstacle avoidance Navigation planning Wireless communicationand HMI In order to do this, you MUST look at the entire system
19. The Challenge Robots start at “Start Point” Navigate to Waypoint 1. Wait for 5 seconds. Navigate to Waypoint 2. Wait for 5 seconds. Navigate back to “Start Point” Penalties: Touch cone Touch wall Reset robot
24. FIRST Robotics Competition Selects National Instruments CompactRIO for Next-Generation Robot Control System Over 50,000 High School Students to use cRIO, powered by NI LabVIEW
Editor's Notes
For the 2009 competition, FIRST Robotics will standardize on LabVIEW & cRIO for their next generation Mobile Device ControllerImpact of the New Controller Key Points: Next-generation control system enables students to build more sophisticated robotics systemsSolve more complex challengesHands-on learning helps connect theory and the real world.Industry-standard technology means students gain knowledge for university studies and professional careersDiscuss that NI will provide the product that will be the standard for FTC and FRC
