| Title | Development of a robotic arm for tree radar |
| Summary | Tree radar is a vital non-invasive tool for detecting internal defects in tree trunks. It offers unprecedented speed and imaging accuracy compared to existing non-destructive testing technologies. However, contactless scanning with tree radar currently requires installing a circular slider around the tree, which demands significant manpower and time. To overcome this limitation, the radar antenna can instead be mounted on a robotic arm. In this project, the student will support the research team’s tree trunk study with the following responsibilities: - Design and build a 6-DOF robotic arm to hold the radar antenna for circular scanning around a tree. - Develop control algorithms for precise height maintenance and accurate contour following. - Collect and process radar data using the system. This project will primarily involve both hardware development and software implementation |
