# Team Members: - Kai-Chieh Liang (kcliang2) - We-jui Chen (wjchen2) - Saharsh Ballae (sballae2) This RFA is based off the pitched robot project by Corey from Infineon # Problem: Infineon wishes to develop a robot with their new PSoC 6 microcontroller and different modules that can be used in trade show demos and University Alliance Program for teaching electronics and programming skills. # Solution Overview: We propose to design a shield that would be plugged directly onto a PSoC development board to control a wheeled robot that will be able to avoid obstacles, controllable through voice commands, and following a line # Solution Components: ## Voice control: We will be using Infineon MEMS microphone to capture voice, and Imagimob’s Edge AI to train a model for local identification of key command words ## Obstacle avoidance: Using Infineon 60GHz Radar module, we would send the output to the MCU via SPI for the MCU to control the motors to avoid collision with obstacle and select a new route ## Line following: We will use commercially available IR sensors that point down to follow a line ## Motor control: We will be using Infineon’s transistors to build H bridges for motor drive and use magnetic speed sensors as control feedback ## Power supply: We will use lithium rechargeable batteries and possibly with the aid of Infineon’s power IC. ## Microcontroller: As Infineon asked, we will use their PSoC 6 microcontroller. This will have built in Wifi and bluetooth connectivity. ## Motor and wheels: We will likely use commercially available robot kit, or maybe ones from ECE 110. # Criterion For Success: - Voice command mode: Able to identify “forward”, “reverse”, “fast”, “slow”, “right”, “left”, “stop” voice commands with 85% accuracy and control the robot movement with these voice commands. - The radar system on the robot should be able to detect obstacles ahead and provide a 90% success rate of avoidance. Should be able to override voice commands. - With the motor control system, the robot will be able to move at speed from 0% to 100% with 20% increments - Line following mode: Able to follow a line within 5 cm with a 85% success rate - The battery are able to support the robot to run for 60 minutes with a full charge |
