Baseball 4 Way Junction

Requirements:

Enable AUTTR to selectively traverse straight, right, or left based on controlled path selection.

AUTTR - Autonomous Underground Tote Transportation Robot

Responsibilities:

End to End Mechanical development: Requirements Document, Project Scheduling, Mech. Design, Controls Planning, Assembly and Testing

Results:

• A baseball-style turntable pre-positions the trackin sub-1-second, eliminating the need for the AUTTR to slow down or stop
• Engineered for seamless assembly and disassembly within underground vaults, ensuring future upgradability
• Integrated a stepper motor with a gearbox to achieve a balance of speed and torque
• Implemented a flexible coupler to absorb entry impact, reducing mechanical stress
• Designed with a continuously variable turn radius, enabling fine-tuned control over entry and exit profiles
• Equipped with flag sensors for homing and position confirmation
