  1. Improved Robotic Arm and Turntable for Sensitivity Characterization of Occupancy Sensors Turntable Team Robotic Arm Team Sam Garza Anne Killough Bob Ramenofsky Havan Tucker Will Hedgecock Brian Auerbach John Sullivan

  2. Sponsor Information • Saves energy by minimizing unused light • Detects major motion in rooms up to 1000 sq. ft. using PIR

  3. Current Testing Procedure Simulate the testing room by rotating the sensor and setting the robotic arm at various locations in the coverage pattern. (Measurements in feet)

  4. Project Description • Improve current testing procedure • Automate testing procedures within NEMA constraints • Improve Arm • Emit IR spectrum similar to that of human arm • Provide more stable arm • Less “jitter” when starting/stopping • Can be held in any position for over an hour

  5. Operational Concept

  6. Command and Control Interface Turntable Controls Robotic Arm Controls AutomatedTesting Grid

  7. Functional Flowchart
