Could you please write the SWOT table about the below product?

I just need draft, so it does not need to be perfect.

Thank you

DESCRIPTION

The product is a multipurpose rover designed to help authorities manage disasters. The rover has a robust build so that the parts of the rover are not damaged by the external environment. The rover is made of composite" material. Composites such as fiberglass are made of strong fibers or fabrics that are stiffened with a glue.

The base of the rover comprises the 6 Mechanam wheels which are connected to the rocker-bogie suspension. Each wheel has its own brake. On top of the base, the rovers body is mounted which includes the processing unit (Psoc 3), Lithium Polymer Batteries, motor drivers and motors. On the uppermost part of the rover, a siren, a robotic arm (also known as slave end) and multiple sensors are attached. A camera is attached to a mast for a human-like view of the rovers surroundings.

Before being deployed, the rover is connected to a computer and the master end hardware so that a human can control the rover and the robotic arm, respectively. This is done via the 2 mounted antennas, which allows PSoC 3 to be connected to the computer and master end wirelessly.

5 The UHF (Ultra High Frequency) Antenna allows the rover to reach extreme distances from its master-end, having a frequency range between 300 MHz to 3GHz that are big enough to penetrate through foliage and buildings but can receive interference due to adverse temperature and climate conditions. Therefore, it works best on flat terrain where theres a clear line of sight back towards the receiver.

4 The Low-Gain X-band Antenna is suited for communication within harsh and uneven terrain, as it transmits signals from a wide range of directions. While not as effective at transmitting compared to its high gain or UHF counterpart, it is used to establish a baseline connection with a high gain Antenna for better transfer of data.

In specific cases, the USB can be used to directly transmit that data to the computer when the rover enters a location deep underground where the reception is exceptionally poor and unreliable.

6 With the Lithium Polymer Batteries supplying power, the rover is turned on. As the camera

10 turns on, it captures its surroundings, and that data is sent to Psoc 3 which transmits that data to the computer and the human can view the footage. Using the computer keyboard, the human can control the angle of the camera thanks to its Tilt Mechanism.

In the context of a disaster-stricken area where this rover is being used, the terrain is expected to be rough, and a lot of obstacles will be present on the rovers path. The Rocker-Bogie

8 Suspension is designed to be a dual wheel system, which equally distributes the weight load. This allows the rover to run on the rough terrain with great efficiency. In case of an obstacle, the rover can easily climb over it because of its great suspension system. To better adapt to the uneven terrain, the rover has a wheel slip minimization algorithm which includes wheel-ground contact angle measurement and a traction control strategy to optimize motion.

Thanks to the footage, the human can control the rover with the help of the keyboard to give

0 appropriate directions to it and move it to desired locations. The data is transmitted to Psoc 3

16 which sends instructions to the motors which enable the motion of the wheels. The

9 Mechanam wheels allow the rover to move in any direction without steering only by changing the speeds and rotational directions of the motors.

The camera produces high-definition footage because of Global Shutter, having more than 50 megapixels lens and the ability to produce images in raw format. This enables the camera to locate humans in trouble quickly. As soon as the camera spots a human in the area, this data is sent to Psoc 3

1 which then sends commands to the Lidar sensor to scan and map the area. The Lidar sensor sends all this data to the computer along with the coordinates of the humans to notify security forces about

13 rescuing the victims. Additionally, the processing unit sends instructions to the siren, which goes off to let the victims know that they are going to be rescued by security forces soon.

2 In the event of a natural disaster, it is necessary for security forces/weather experts to obtain

3 environmental data to help them manage the situation efficiently. The temperature and humidity sensors on the rover collect relevant data of their surroundings and send it to Psoc 3, which transfers that data to the computer.

7 Suppose scientists want to collect samples from a particular area for further research or the security forces want to examine objects of interest or to detect bombs, they can use the rovers robotic arm to achieve their goal. The user physically interacts with the master end hardware which has current and force sensors that can detect the amount of electrical currents needed to move the robotic arm. The sensors relay this data to the processing unit which can translate this data into electrical signals to

15 program the actuators (motors of the robotic arm). This enables the arm to physically grab and pick up the desired object.

Due to a built-in Haptic Feedback System in Psoc 3, the user is allowed to experience the sense of touch when the robotic arm picks up an object. The sensors transmit electrical signals into vibrations to simulate touch to the user. This is mainly how a person can touch and feel an object from a distance.

There are times when intended missions need autonomous motion of the rover in difficult terrain, so a path planning algorithm optimizes the path using a genetic algorithm technique.

CLAIMS

The claims defining the invention are as follows:

1. A rover is equipped with six Mechanam wheels, a robot arm, a camera, sensors and Rocker-Bogie suspension so it can be used not only for handling things but can travel on any kind of terrain.

2. The rover as claimed in claim 1, is made of composite materials such as fiberglass which is made of strong fibers or fabrics that are stiffened by glue.

3. The rover as claimed in claim 1, has six mechnam wheels attached to the rocker-bogie suspension. The rocker-bogie suspension is designed as a dual wheel system to distribute the load equally. This allows the rover to drive efficiently in rough terrain.

ABSTRACT

The following reveal of the product is a multi-purpose remotely controlled electric rover that utilizes haptic feedback for disaster-management areas which is primarily used by authorities. This patent informs and proposes an approach to help design the rover in a way to scale through a multitude of rough terrains whether irregular, wet, or uneven, to be done so with ease whilst in rescue related operations - this approach is determined based on the wheels, the suspension system, autonomy system and sensors. The proposed rover is a multi-functional device as it can perform various rescue related tasks and research due to the integrated robotic arm that is placed on top of the rover, which gives it the functionality to locate humans and signal for help, at the same time examine various extracted objects from the scene.
