Motivation

The electrical cabinet of the current construction robot has reached its spatial and functional limits. With the integration of a larger onboard computer, additional GPS boards, and a cooling system, a redesign of the cabinet is necessary. The goal is to create a more spacious and efficient electrical cabinet that ensures reliable operation, proper heat management, and compact integration within the robot’s existing housing.

Objectives & Tasks
1. Analysis of the Current Electrical System

  • Review the existing cabinet layout and wiring.
  • Identify limitations related to space, power supply, and thermal management.

2. Design of a New Electrical Cabinet. Propose a layout to accommodate:

  • A larger onboard computer.
  • Two GPS boards.
  • A cooling fan system for heat dissipation and airflow.
  • Ensure the cabinet remains compact and fits within the robot’s housing panel.

3. Power Supply Upgrade

  • Assess the robot’s electrical requirements with the new computation load.
  • Propose and integrate a more suitable power source.

4. Implementation & Prototyping

  • Build and test the redesigned electrical cabinet.
  • Verify thermal performance and stability of the system.

5. Documentation

  • Deliver a complete electrical diagram of the system.
  • Provide technical documentation for future maintenance and scalability.
