Building automation system
- _Build automation is the process of automating the creation of a software build and the associated processes including: compiling computer source code into binary code, packaging binary code, and running automated tests. _
Creation of website and building the associated processes takes a lot of time as it should compile the source code into binary code,packaging binary code and then to run an automated tests to overcome this we need to fasten this process as to save time and this can be done by the process of Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is a technique where one can quickly prototype any system and make a full scale model that can help u visualize a system actually working and working within no time
Rapid prototyping helps in Realizing the Concepts before actual hardware is made it also helps in Incorporating the Changes Instantly if there is any requirement of it, It plays a very important role in Saving Cost and Time. Customizing system is very easy to incorporate and handle,Minimizing Design Flaws is an advantage with RP
The rapid prototyping techniques which are currently available in industries are:
- Stereo Lithography(SLA): SLA is based on selective polymerization of a photosensitive resin using ultraviolet light.
- Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM): FDM technique is based on melting and depositing a thin filament of thermoplastic polymer in a cross-hatching fashion to form each layer of the part.
- Laminated Object Manufacturing: In LOM process, plastic/paper layers are fused together using heat and pressure, and then cut into the desired shape with a PC-controlled laser/blade.
- Selective Laser Sintering(SLS):In SLS process laser beam of high power melts and fuses powdered material spread on a layer.
- 3D Printing: It is process used to create a 3D object in which layers of material are formed under control of computer to create an object.
Lots of research is going on in how to Fasten the Automation and robotic system and there is a need to work on it and develop new technologies and system.
Automation is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention. Some processes have been completely automated.(wikipedia)
Robotics Robotics is the interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and others. Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots,as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.(wikipedia)
The field Automation as started way behind two century,when Richard Arkwright invented the first fully automated spinning mill driven by water power, known at the time as the water frame,later many Automated devices and lot of research have taken place.Today Automation is geting integrated with various other disciplines such as Internet of Things,control systms,machine learning many more. The Automation as helped faster manufacturing to meet ever increasing demand,Beter qulatity products,avoid labour sick leave days,productivity,Replacing humans in tasks done in dangerous environments, etc.
Robotics is domain which is most interdisciplinary branch.The world robot was coined by Czech playwright Karel Capek (pronounced "chop'ek") from the Czech word for forced labor or serf,however the first industrial modern robots were the Unimates developed by George Devol and Joe Engelberger in the late 50's and early 60's. There is lot of research taking place focuses on kinematics and dynamics,which resulting in inventions of new robots.
Even though Automation and Robotics are offen called together but there are different approachs involved in applying these concepts.In both the machines are expected to do some task with interacting with environment,offen people are confused with automation and robotics simply robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots and Automation is the use of largely automatic equipment in a system of manufacturing or other production process.The automation process are robust systems which consist of PLC's,actuators,etc.which accomplished by IEC 61131-3,IEC 1131-3 industrial standards.Where as robotics are accomplishment is based on gravity of problem.The most of the simple problem are accomplished by 8-bit microcontrollers,the problems with little higher gravity are accomplished by 32-bit microprocessors and the problems with more complexity are solved using 64 bit microprocessors.what ever The complexity of the problem be,the use actuator and Sensors are depended on integration with controller.
Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly Prototype a hardware and make it working, rapid prototyping of electrical components is an area of research, many tools and software are available to achieve this.Electronics does not traditionally come under the remit of design engineers – the complexities of electronics design being a step too far for most mechanical or even electrical designers. However, electronics is becoming more accessible. The rise and rise of development boards like Raspberry Pi and Arduino, Toradex originally aimed at students and hobbyists, has resulted in new doors being opened for engineers wanting a fast and effective way of prototyping or building low volume systems.
Yes, there is a need in Automation & Robotics, The design of robotic mechanisms is a complex process involving geometric, kinematic,dynamic, tolerance and stress analyses. In the design of a real system, the construction of
a physical prototype is often considered. Indeed, a physical prototype helps the designer
to identify the fundamental characteristics and the potential pitfalls of the proposed
architecture. However, the design and fabrication of a prototype using traditional
techniques is rather long, tedious and costly. In this context, the availability of rapid
prototyping machines can be exploited in order to allow designers of robotic mechanisms
or other systems to build prototypes rapidly and at a low cost.
Whether a robot is needed to prototype or a mechanism , Rapid Prototyping is the future. The concept of a Rapid Prototyping machine is no longer science fantasy with the next step forward being mass manufacturing using this technology.
Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.Construction of the part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing or "additive layer manufacturing" technology.(wikipedia)
Software prototyping is the activity of creating prototypes of software applications, i.e., incomplete versions of the software program being developed. It is an activity that can occur in software development and is comparable to prototyping as known from other fields, such as mechanical engineering or manufacturing.(wikipedia)

Circuit design is the elaborate process to make an electronic circuit to satisfy a requirement. It covers simple electronic circuits to elaborate circuits that operate very large electronic systems. Simple circuit design can be done by a person, but complex circuit design requires team work and a systematic approach. The design of circuit depends upon the mind and approach of the designer. Some designers stick on too much theory while most designers are practical since the reader do not want to go deep into the theoretical aspects but wants to know how it is working and what is its purpose.
Circuit schematic is the combination of circuit diagram and schematics. The circuit diagram is the conventional graphical representation to show the working of the circuit while the schematics represent the use of graphic symbols in the diagram. The layout of symbols in the circuit diagram may not resemble the layout of the physical circuit. In the circuit diagram, the symbols are placed in a convenient way for easy identification of its location and working. Simplified standard symbols are used in circuit diagram to represents components. The interconnections in the circuit diagram, does not corresponds to the actual location of the components in the PCB. The circuit diagram explains how the components are connected each other and work together. The main purpose of the circuit diagram is to make PCB and for the trouble shooting or maintenance of the circuit.
Image of our schematic
After creating the diagram, through hand drawing or using software like CAD programme, it is necessary to select the appropriate components. To select the components, current requirement, voltage requirements, output nature etc are to be considered to meet the specific requirements. A well experienced person can select the components easily and can calculate the voltage and current requirements using Ohms law and other mathematical formula. Errors in the selection of components can be corrected during bread board testing.

If circuit simulation software is available, it is better to simulate the working of the circuit before breadboard checking. Simulation will show the exact working of the circuit.
Bread board is the kind of prototype board with electrical connections to place components. All the components including ICs can be easily inserted into the sockets of bread board. The advantage of bread board is that, we can easily remove and replace components if the working is not perfect. Electrical connections can be made using hook up wires.
In the bread board testing, sometimes the circuit will not work or shows erratic response. These can be corrected by selecting appropriate components and changing the circuit design. If the circuit is perfect in bread board testing, we can directly go to the construction.
Construction requires a PCB and soldering procedure. PCB can be designed using the PCB design software and can be made in copper clad board using the standard PCB making protocol. Etching, Tinning, Drilling, Masking and Legend making are the different stages involved in PCB making.Click links to see PCB making and Soldering technique.
Before making many PCBs, it is better to make a Test PCB first to test the working of the circuit. Assemble the PCB as per the circuit diagram and solder them correctly. Power the circuit and test for its performance many times. If the required performance is achieved, you can make multiples of the PCB as per the requirements.
PCB layout is a critical part of all switching power supply designs. As there are high switching currents and sensitive control signals in close proximity, control of the PCB layout is needed to ensure the correct operation of the system. It is important to use ground and power planes with high current power management devices. Dialog recommends that you use both a ground and main system voltage plane underneath the PMIC. The input decoupling can then decouple the planes. As both VDD and GND are planes, inductive cancellation will provide a very low impedance path to the IC. It is not possible to produce a set of rigid rules for layer construction within a PCB because each design has its own requirements: it is not appropriate for Dialog to suggest which plane should be power and which should be ground. Instead, this application note uses examples from the Dialog PCB range to illustrate practices that have been found useful.
The ground plane should have low impedance for all areas of the PCB. This will help with power control, will improve signal quality and reduce EMI. The use of a ground layer and flooding of other layers with multiple vias are good methods to keep the impedance low. Below are two PCB ground layers as examples of good and bad grounding.
Dialog products often have a high pin count and therefore multi-layer PCBs are required. It is recommended that one of these layers is reserved for ground and one for the main power. For example, when considering a six-layer reference board from Dialog, one may typically find that the ground plane is Layer 3, and the VDD plane is Layer 4. The recommendation is that these GND and VDD planes are adjacent.
The reference connections should be kept noise-free, including all reference components connected to IREF and VREF. These should be placed as close as possible to the PMIC pins that they connect to. They should also be placed in a ‘quiet’ area with noisy signals neither routed on the layer below, nor too close on the same layer. Where possible, the layout should have ground on the layer below the references.
- Each module should be short. A reasonable target is from 10 to 100 executable statements.
- Each module should have good internal "cohesion." This refers to the logical integrity of the module's function, meaning that the purpose of the module is well-focused on a specific task. 1.Each module should be independent of all other modules. When you assemble a complete program from a bunch of modules, one module shouldn't have to know anything about the internal functioning of another. This brings up the idea of module "coupling," which we'll discuss next time.
- A module should access the minimum amount of data. A well-defined data interface for each module is required to sew them together into a final program. This idea flies in the face of the "global variables" characteristic of BASIC and some other unstructured languages.
- A module's complexity should be minimized. If the behavior of the module is so complex that it requires considerable explanation to comprehend, you might be better off subdividing it into a family of smaller, more understandable modules. Ever notice how much easier it is to understand short paragraphs than long ones, no matter what the subject matter?
- Program module's are to be software tested.
- Implement coveralls coverage test.
- Travis check for build.
- Dependency check using David.

- Side plate: There are 2 such plates on right and left side of the bot which is made up of Aluminium Material, this is mainly to hold the shafts which will be connect to wheels and motor, this is manufactured by Laser cutting to get the profile then Drilling process was taken ahead for the shafts to hold up, later drilling an tapping was done for the Screw.
- Ribs: This is the main part as it distributes the strength of the load equally throughout the bot.
- Shafts: Manufactured with the EN8 material, this is manufactured by Lathe machine and surface milling is also done for the key way.
