Our robotics team has many special tasks that often require individual solutions. One of the central activities is the development and programming of modules that interact with each other in the robot network.
The process begins with the planning of a module that is to measure or manipulate physical variables. Analog circuits are first simulated in order to optimize them and check their function. The circuits are then built on a breadboard to ensure that they function before production. In this phase, tools such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes are used to carry out initial tests and debugging.
Programming accompanies the entire development process to ensure that hardware and software are optimally coordinated. Both THT and SMD components are used in production and, depending on requirements, either CNC technology is used or we work with external production service providers. After production and final programming, the module is extensively tested to ensure that it works reliably in the network and also fulfills the data communication as originally defined. Finally, the module is checked to ensure that it works seamlessly with the rest of the robot.
For students, the robot team offers an excellent opportunity to realize their potential in a practical environment. In the field of mechatronics, students can realize their own projects, which impart sound technical knowledge and provide valuable practical experience in simulation, circuit design, production, programming and system integration. This creates an exciting and instructive combination of theory and practice.
