A sensor mount redesign for Sensory Robotics.
Duration: 12 weeks
UC ID Team Project
Components
Robot Arm
Designed for factories to speed up the manufacturing process.
Sensor
Designed to sense humans and prevent accidents.
Safety System Demo
Previous Setup: Pain Points
Large footprint
Long assembly times
Separate from robot
Design Objective
Design a sensor mounting harness system that securely mounts sensors directly to the robot, providing 360° coverage. Must be lightweight and adaptable to all robot arms.
Ideation
Sensor Attachment
Vibration Dampening Concepts
Initial Sensor Attachment
The initial design for the sensor attachment was a simplistic frame. It connected via the existing screw holes and included vibration dampening pads.
Placement Strategy
How can we eliminate blind spots through placement strategy?
Integrated Ring Design
Minimal footprint
Adaptable to robot arms
Attached to robot
Ring Ideation
Ring Attachment Concepts
Cable Routing
Modified Sensor Attachment
Vibration Dampening (integrated into ring)
A ring mount design allowed for integrated cable routing.
The modified sensor attachment allowed for a more secure and supportive system that could attach to the ring.
Final Design
