GVR-BOT Thermal Testing

Abstract

A GVR-BOT robot was tested to measure thermal effects of the design at different ambient temperatures. Thermocouples were placed on four subcomponents within the Main Electrical Housing: Radio, Main Processor, Left Motor Driver, and Right Motor Driver.The system was tested at -20 C and +50 C ambient temperature while powered on and the results compared with a simulation of this environment. This testing confirmed that the system subcomponents did not exceed their designed temperature range. Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) was also performed for 15.8 hours total with no failures.
