My team and I worked on the End-Effector Subsystem where we designed and built a 3D-printed prototype of a robot gripper capable of collecting tomatoes using as sensors and actuators a limit switch, a potentiometer and a stepper motor. I had the specific task of writing the code of the embedded system that controlled its movement using an Arduino UNO, and we also programmed an UR10e industrial robot to follow a certain trajectory, mounted the gripper and tested the whole system which successfully completed the tasks of collecting a tomato and placing it on a container.</p>https://Everardo-shain.github.io/posts/projects/elevator/Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:06:25 +0600https://Everardo-shain.github.io/posts/projects/elevator/<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>This project involves programming a simulated 4-floor elevator on a PLC using TIA Portal. Most of the code is written in SCL, with less than 30% implemented in ladder logic. The simulation replicates real-world elevator functionality and meets all 11 requirements defined in the project guidelines, including the development of a fully functional HMI.</p> <p>Peer-review meetings with the project supervisor and exhaustive research were conducted on the proper functioning of real-world elevators, as some corner cases were not defined in the project requirements.</p>
