Concepts from Kumoh and Budapest

Quadrotor with Solar Charger
• Solar cell in center of quadrotor (enough current to power microprocessor?)
• Arms fold up to protect during landing

Rolling Concept
• Motor powers inner ball, which rolls on inside of outer ball

Guiding Principles #1• In order to avoid double effort on control design:
we should navigate on the ground or in the air but not both
• If we want to navigate in the air, wings are better than helicopter (rotor/propellers providing downward thrust) concept from the viewpoint of energy efficiency
![Page 7: Additional Concepts and Communication](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070501/5681694c550346895de0e932/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Guiding Principles #2
• To avoid getting blown away by wind, the parachute should be opened late in the descent
• If we make a flying robot, it should be naturally stable – flying robots can be very difficult to control if they are too reliant on fast/accurate feedback of pose (attitude)

Time Differences (Relative to Atlanta)
• Budapest, Hungary:• Patras, Greece:• Madras, India:
• Gumi City, South Korea:
+ 6 hours+ 7 hours+ 11 hours+ 14 hours

Communication
• RescueBot website• Online meeting software• Weekly meeting (Skype? Phone? Other?)
– Assuming one country at a time– Split each team of Tech students into two groups?

File Sharing
• RescueBot Website• Dropbox account• Google account (use Drive)

International Kickoff Meeting
• Describe RescueBot project in detail• Find out interests/abilities• How to split specialized teams?
– All EE (for example) from same country, or– Students from multiple countries?
• How to split robot production?– Two groups, each working on one design, or– Farm-out tasks from both designs to specialties?
