Design and fabrication of a multi-robot collaborative mobile robotic system prototype
The main objective of this project is design and fabrication of a multi-robot mobile robotic system prototype. Current mobile robotic systems use a heavy industrial manipulator on an even heavier mobile base. We want to change this paradigm by creating a lightweight and stiff mobile robotic system.
In the current prototypes, we used 3-d printed parts for fabrication of joints and the end-effector for initial evaluations. Use of 3d printed parts leads to play and deformation in the joints under load and over all stiffness of the mobile robotic system decreases. In this thesis, we want to re-think the material of the parts (metals aluminium, steel etc.) and the design, fabrication strategy for the whole robotic system including joints and links.

The end result of this thesis will be fabrication of a physical prototype which is lightweight yet stiff and is manipulated by multiple mobile robots.
