Group meeting notes
Week 2
Navigation of autonomous robots on Mars.
Known variables:
To program the robot there are two coordinates known:
1) current coordinate on planet (lat, long)
2)current coordinate of goal (lat, long)
To do:
Define Mars coordinates (Nick & Finn)
1) Mars rotation angle
2) Atmosphere
3) Gravitation
4) etc.
Virtual simulation (Zeph & Finn)
1) Create an virtual RANDOM ground environment that is similar to Mars environment.
2) See which program is best to create this environment.
Robot (Stefan)
1) What would the optimal way of travel be on Mars.
2) How does the robot see the world, where does he get his information?
3) 3D mapping? (Look at autonomous car literature for example)
Users (Rik)
seek information about travel to Mars in the upcoming years, and find potential users of the navigation system of the robot. Also
Milestones
- Create a correct coordinate system on Mars
- Specifics about the Mars environment are known.
- Succesfully creating a virtual ground environment that is similar to Mars.
- Determining the optimal specifics of the robot and it’s sensors.
Week 3
Transport robots op mars
potentiele doelen:
als er meerdere colonies zijn in de beginfase waarbij infrastructuur tussen deze nog niet bestaat, kan een transport robot ingezet worden om materialen tussen deze colonies te transporteren. Materiaal life cycle: Het komt aan via een raket op de main colonie, vanaf hier word het via de transport robot naar andere kleinere colonies gebracht. Waarom geen goederentunnel tussen de colonies?
Scenario: Mars is in zekere zin gekolonizeerd, er zijn meerdere kolonies in de beginfase die onderling goederen willen transporteren.
OF
Scenario: Mars heeft een kolonie waarbij meerdere mining sites in de buurt zijn, de robot word gebruikt om goederen te transporteren tussen de mining site en de kolonie.
Users: De eigenaren van de colonien, (de bewoners profiteren)
Vragen: - Waarom zijn er verschillende colonies? Verschillende naties zullen niet samenwerken. Waarom?
- Wat zijn de regels op mars? (meerdere colonies, conflicten?)
-Waarom moeten ze goederen transporteren? Onverwacht tekort Handel van grondstoffen
-Waarom is er geen weg/goederentunnel? Doordat de colonies relatief ver uit elkaar liggen is een pad/goederentunnel niet rendabel.
-Schaal van kolonie?
20-50 mensen
_________________________________________________________________________
TAKEN Thomas: Kijken naar wie de users zijn en waarom dezen gebruik willen maken van ons product.
Stefan: Kijken naar huidige regels & feiten van mars, op basis hiervan kunnen we een scenario schetsen.
Zeph, Nick & Finn: Scenario uitwerken op basis van Stefan zijn stukje.
Rik: SotA, kijken waar we nu zitten en wat we kunnen bijdragen aan SotA. Wat er allemaal al gebeurd is op dit gebied.
