Replicate the form and function of the human hand.

Reduce the current interface dimensions to allow for the combination of multiple mechanical fingers.
Allow safe operation of the robotic hand in and around humans.
Explore the application of the robotic hand as a prosthetic device.

Project Summary

The purpose of this project is to replicate the muscle tendon system in a human hand by using Shape Memory Alloy (SMA). To model the motion of muscle fibers contraction or extension the SMA length must be changed. In order to change the length of the SMA wire, it must be heated or cooled. There are two possible ways of heating the wire, applying an electric current or submerging the wire in hot water. The previous senior design team had determined that the wire could not be controlled accurately by heating the wire with electrical current, so a system was devised to heat the SMA wire using hot water. The next issue that needed to be addressed was the return of the SMA wire to its original length. The previous design team had not researched an adequate solution to this issue.
The focus of this design team will be to refine and improve the specific application of the previous design teams� contributions. These include performing additional dynamic analysis of individual phalange motion, designing and constructing a new and improved robot finger to be incorporated into a fully developed hand assembly, and incorporating extension and flexion into the muscle finger interface. The interface and the SMA actuator used to introduce hot water to the SMA wire, designed by the previous team, will be further refined. The goal of this refinement will be to increase the range of motion, redesign the current finger design, combine multiple fingers into a full hand assembly and refine the actuating system.

The senior project requires the design of a vehicle that addresses engineering problems similar to problems faced by the original MoonBuggy Team. These include functionality, drive type, safety, assembly and disassembly requirements. The Annual Great MoonBuggy Team Race sponsored by NASA is held in Huntsville Alabama each spring.

Each MoonBuggy Team is required to carry two students, one male and one female for the duration of the course. This course consists of approximately one half mile of lunar surface composed of craters, rocks, lava, inclines and �lunar� soil. The MoonBuggy design team consists of six students who design, build, and compete using the final product.

During the competition the two riders are required to carry the MoonBuggy Team disassembled to the starting line within a 4� x 4� x 4� volume, mimicking the requirements of the original lunar roving vehicle. At the starting line the MoonBuggy Team will be assembled, tested for safety and setup for course testing. At this point the design team will be evaluated on the time required to safely traverse the course. Each team is allowed two runs through the �lunar� terrain and the shortest time will be added to the assembly time for a total time for this competition.

The completed MoonBuggy Team will be evaluated on functionality separate from the race. This evaluation will examine the technical approach used to solve the engineering problem of navigating the lunar course and not the time needed to traverse the course. Awards will also be given for most unique, most improved and system safety award.

This senior design project gives the design team the opportunity to design, test, built and race a human powered MoonBuggy Team. During this process the design team will encounter the same constraints and design issues encountered by the first lunar roving vehicle.

Hi guys,
I haven’t been able to figure out how to upload larger than 2MB doc files (ziping files doesn’t help either). I’d suggest either processing to PDF or just waiting for now… it won’t be counted against you.

Sorry,
Will

Problem Statement

Manufacture and design an off-road human powered vehicle to compete in The Great MoonBuggy Race in Huntsville, AL on April 20, 2007. This vehicle is required to race over approximately one half mile of lunar terrain and carry instrumentation similar to that of a functional MoonBuggy Team. In addition the MoonBuggy Team must disassemble the vehicle to fit within a four foot cube.

Project Summary

The senior project requires the design of a vehicle that addresses engineering problems similar to problems faced by the original MoonBuggy Team. These include functionality, drive type, safety, assembly and disassembly requirements. The Annual Great MoonBuggy Team Race sponsored by NASA is held in Huntsville Alabama each spring.

Each MoonBuggy Team is required to carry two students, one male and one female for the duration of the course. This course consists of approximately one half mile of lunar surface composed of craters, rocks, lava, inclines and �lunar� soil. The MoonBuggy design team consists of six students who design, build, and compete using the final product.

During the competition the two riders are required to carry the MoonBuggy Team disassembled to the starting line within a 4� x 4� x 4� volume, mimicking the requirements of the original lunar roving vehicle. At the starting line the MoonBuggy Team will be assembled, tested for safety and setup for course testing. At this point the design team will be evaluated on the time required to safely traverse the course. Each team is allowed two runs through the �lunar� terrain and the shortest time will be added to the assembly time for a total time for this competition.

The completed MoonBuggy Team will be evaluated on functionality separate from the race. This evaluation will examine the technical approach used to solve the engineering problem of navigating the lunar course and not the time needed to traverse the course. Awards will also be given for most unique, most improved and system safety award.

This senior design project gives the design team the opportunity to design, test, built and race a human powered MoonBuggy Team. During this process the design team will encounter the same constraints and design issues encountered by the first lunar roving vehicle.
