Project
Prototype-stage compact mobile robot design covering wheel/chassis layout, camera and controller integration, motor-driver-battery packaging, wiring paths, protection, and service access.
Compact inspection-robot packaging study showing how chassis geometry, wheels, motors, drivers, battery storage, camera hardware, wiring, and Raspberry Pi layout fit into a small mobile platform.
This capstone project developed a confined-space inspection robot concept around compact mechanical packaging, mobility, camera integration, controller placement, power layout, and service access.
The page uses CAD screenshots, component visuals, notes, and prototype photos to explain prototype-stage design decisions while keeping raw source files out of the public site.
A confined-space inspection robot needs to carry drive hardware, power storage, controller electronics, camera hardware, wiring, and protective structure inside a small mobile platform.
The mechanical challenge was to balance mobility, low centre of gravity, service access, cable routing, component protection, and maintenance needs without making the chassis too bulky.
The design work centred on fitting the wheelbase, chassis envelope, motors, electronics, camera hardware, and power storage into a compact inspection-robot form factor.
Motor, driver, battery, and wiring placement were treated as mechanical packaging problems, with attention to centre of gravity, protection, cable paths, and access for assembly or maintenance.
The camera/sensing and Raspberry Pi/controller layout needed clear mounting space, cable paths, and protected locations while preserving inspection visibility and mobility.
Prototype photos and CAD views support review of packaging choices, service access, protection, maintenance points, and future test planning at prototype stage.
The project shows trade-offs across chassis geometry, wheel placement, drive components, power storage, controller hardware, camera placement, and inspection payload space.
Battery, driver, controller, and camera placement were framed around access, cable routing, maintenance, protection, and low-centre-of-gravity layout.
The robot hardware work connects CAD packaging, prototype iteration, test planning, service access, component protection, and integration records.
Selected project material used to show CAD, component, prototype, or documentation details.
A prototype-stage robot hardware record showing compact chassis packaging, wheel and drive layout, electronics and power integration, camera placement, prototype visuals, and test-planning notes.
Relevant to mechanical and robot-hardware engineering because it connects CAD packaging, sensor integration, serviceability, low-centre-of-gravity layout, protection, and prototype iteration.
