Meeting with Luca

Luca Project Kickoff (29.2.)

Project suggestion: //add KPI's

Must have goals:

Physical Rod optimization (lower drag & higher stability)

Wing optimization (higher efficiency)

Clearing gap from cambering

Maybe better overall shape, etc

Soft wing?

Implementation of sensors (inertia, diff pressure)

Servo control (higher performance servos)

Lake testing (incl. Test platform build)

Should have goals:

Test stand construction/modification (Force (x,z) & Moment measurement (y,z))

Structural optimization (general stability, rotational forces on vessel)

Movement optimization for all speeds (incl. Starting)

Turns, starting, breaking, (reverse?), diff. Speeds

Could have goals:

Path following

Wave gliding

Lift off mode (Foils lift plane out of water)

Fragen an Luca:

Anmeldung am Imperial College prüfen

Klare Zieldefinition erstellen

Wichtige Spezifikationen festlegen (wasserdicht, Korrosionsbeständig?, leicht?, leise?...)

Erwarteten Aufwand abschätzen (Monate, Stunden pro Monat)

Budget planen

Groben Zeitplan erstellen

Kommunikationsplan festlegen (wie oft Meetings etc.)

Dokumentationsrichtlinien festlegen (Abgabeprodukt...)

Treffen mit unserem Vorgänger zur Besprechung von Fragen organisieren (nach ein paar Wochen)

Entscheiden, welche Kenngrößen wir testen sollten (auch Teststand modifizieren?)

Upcoming ideas

Frequency too low so maybe different kinematics to move rod

Possibly leaning on combustion engine for higher frequency (circular to linear hub)

or bigger gear

research how important in-field adjustable heave is

Problem of Development of moments around the CG (center of gravity) of the boat.

solution different heave?

maybe horizontal fins under water to stabilize (if size & weigth is not limited)

Calculations or tests: how big is this problem even?

cambering mayby different technology?

from gripper waterpump technology?

Conclusions:

Weekly meetings with 1-2 slides per person on progress (or biweekly)

1st Meeting 24th of april (ca)

IEEE Robotics & Automation letter is most relevant journal (he would like to submit there) end of July (we could join a conference also)

Documentation mostly a report (incl. research question…) + presentation

project: April to July (planed deadline end of July)

check if everybody has to write paper at the end or together

increase gear size

KPI’s: weight, sound level (measure), efficiency, (speed not so important)

we can go to any partner uni on this project (lousianne, imperial, ETH)

20h is usually
