FUSION Engineering Project: Autonomous Vacuum (Team swiffer diss track)

Background:

The FUSION Autonomous Vaccum project aims to provide members with the opportunity to work with a diverse range of other engineering majors while aquiring hands-on experience with Arduinos and CAD modeling.Although we share the same objective as the other project teams within FUSION, we will differentiate ourselves with our unique design and approach to problem-solving in order to be a competitive oponent in the end-of-the-year competition.

Goal and Objectives:

This project will introduce us to the intricate world of robotics, allowing our members to explore their interests and curiosities in programming and modeling. This will allow us to better understand the complexity of automation and its potential to better our own lives.

We have received our first purchase order on Janurary 31st, 2023, and have began to work on initial construction of our robot. We have created designs for the major mechanical components of the system and have collaborated towards functioning Tinkercad model of our robot.
