This Mobile Sensor Platform (MSP) includes several minor modification of the 2nd gernation of MSPs. All of the MSPs carry devices which enable imaging, distancing, and wireless communication functions. The Image processing algorithms help the mobile sensor understand its environment. A group of these sensors can be coordinated to better react to or reason about real-world phenomena. Most of the existing sensor network testbeds are fixed. The few mobile testbeds either have limited processing capability that prevents them from running interesting and practical applications like target tracking, sensor deployment, and other mission-oriented tasks; or that they are too costly for group deployment. AICIP group will design and implement a mobile sensor network testbed that can provide sufficient processing capability for both 1-D signal processing and 2-D image processing at low cost (<$500 each platform).

Motor Torque Test


I applied 12V to the right side motor to determine if the wheel hub (pictured on the outside of the wheel axle) would help the wheel and axle turn as one.
No go... The axle turned totally free without the wheel...
So after removing the hub and carefully tightening down the set screw both wheels and axles turn as one!!!
Well.. at least I have a definitive test now...
