Design

Our robotic platform is composed of many modules, each with their own specifications, concept and functionalities. Each module is designed to be independent so they can operated alone or jointly with the other modules. The teamwork between every module is mainly managed by the Main Administrator that communicates with all of them, and controls them via a bus CAN and custom controller boards, named BananaBoard. In its entirety, the project has seven distinct modules: The platform, the tool holding support, the gripper, the centrifuge, the magneto caloric module for 96-well plate, the magneto caloric module for 1.5mL tube and the turbido agitator caloric module for glass tube. The global architecture of the robotic platform is as follows:
