Abstract/Summary

Professor Xing, an assistant professor at Cal Poly, proposed the 2 DOF Robotic Leg project for this quarter’s senior project class. The project is to build a robotic leg attached at the hip to a stand, which will be used as a teaching tool and eventually help develop Cal Poly’s very own robotic quadruped. Since this project has multiple uses after its completion, there are multiple customers that it must perform well for: the Cal Poly Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department, the ME Lab instructors, and the students. The Scope of Work (Sections 2 & 3) is composed of 2 main sections: Background and Objectives. The Background covers all research regarding similar products and dynamic systems while the Objectives outline the problem statement and the team’s objectives required to complete this project. The following sections are comprised Team Capy’s process of achieving those objectives throughout the yearlong project. This is described in detail and broken into the following sections: Concept Design, Final Design, Manufacturing plan, Design Verification Plan, Project Management, and Conclusion. This project’s scope has significantly changed throughout the year, resulting in a very iterative design process that led to excellent results. This document details every step of that process, leading to the development of the final design and its manufacturing process.
