Problem 3: Motion design [12 points] Upon graduation, you have been hired by Intel to help them setup a fabrication facility for their newest line of chips. Your task is to design a chip delivery system for their testing room. A tray attached to a follower will: (a) wait under a robotic arm while a new chip is being placed, (b) move away from the arm and travel across the room, (c) wait at the other end of the room a while another arm picks up the chip for further evaluation, and (d) return to the initial machine where another chip will be deposited. (Do not be concerned about the mechanisms used to place or pick up the chip.) This motion of the device will be driven by a camfollower design.
The chip must wait under the first arm for 4 seconds. It then travels (rise) to the other arm a distance of 8" in 20 seconds. It remains in this location for 10 seconds and then returns to the initial location in 2 seconds. The motor driving the cam has a constant velocity of \(\omega=10^{\circ}/\mathrm{sec}\).
a)[2 points] What type of cam-follower is appropriate here, (a) Oscillating, (b) Translating? Create a plot of displacement ( s ) as a function of time \((\mathrm{t})\).
b)[2 points] The risk of damaging the chip can be minimized by having the smoothest jerk profile. During the rise segment of the motion program, indicate which motion function you would choose based on this information, and explain your selection.
c)[4 points] Using the function you chose from part \( b \), write the expression for the time-dependent displacement function \( s(t)\) for the follower motion during this segment of the motion program. Your final expression for \( s(t)\) should contain only \( s, t \), and numerical constants that are relevant to this problem. (You do not need to multiply any numerical values.)
d)[4 points] Write the expression of the velocity and acceleration, explain how to find the extremum values.
