What we are doing now
One of the first concerns VelcroSat tackled was how would we
sense debris in space. There many different types of sensors but we decided to
choose ultrasonic sensors to develop a concept. Deciding which sensors to use
was easy enough, but what exactly would we do after we sensed an object? This
question became the base for our project. After some brainstorming and bouncing
ideas back and forth off each other, we decided to triangulate the sensors. By
using multiple sensors we could sense direction and velocity. Then, as the cube
tracks an object it will continue to adjust and follow until it collides. In
order to demonstrate how this theory will work, we are building a robot that
will follow a ball across the room. Currently we have already built the frame
and attached the sensor and motors. The next step is to program the robot and
put on another sensor. We should have the project completed and ready by the
end of the summer.
