The project is outlined by the customer requirements of P14029, P15029, P16029, and P Robofish Charging Station (RCS) : A station that harvests and stores solar energy that is capable of automatically docking the Robofish, charging the Robofish, and releasing the Robofish. The project is outlined by the customer requirements of P Docking Sequence : A sequence that begins with the Robofish physically and electrically disconnected from the RCS and ends with the Robofish physically and electrically connected to the RCS. Assuming the Robofish is in position and capable of controlling its buoyancy. Charging Sequence : A sequence during which electrical energy is supplied to and managed to charge the Robofish battery. Undocking Sequence : A sequence that begins with the Robofish physically and electrically connected to the RCS and ends with the Robofish physically and electrically disconnected from the RCS. Assuming the Robofish is capable of controlling its buoyancy Purpose This document details the test plan for the Robofish Charging Station. The purpose of this document is threefold. First, necessary test criteria are identified that demonstrate the final design meets the engineering requirements and ultimately the customer requirements. Second, test resources and procedures are specified that provide a means of proving the criteria. Third, test results are recorded based on the execution of those procedures and adherence to the requirements is examined. 2
3 1.3. Scope This test plan applies to the finalized design for the Robofish Charging Station and any affixed hardware necessary for it to perform the functions outlined in the customer requirements (see 2.1). The Robofish is not encompassed, with the exception of the battery and the battery management system. The battery and battery management system includes all electronics necessary to provide power to the Robofish up to but not including the 24V Buck converter implemented by team P Test Criteria 2.1. Customer Requirements Table 1: Customer Requirements 2.2. Customer Requirement Completion Criteria CR1: Will be satisfied if ER6 is satisfied and if fish remains attached to the RCS during the Automated Process Test. CR2: Will be satisfied if ER4 is satisfied. CR3: Will be satisfied if ER2 and ER3 and ER4 are satisfied. 3
4 CR4: Will be satisfied if ER1 is satisfied. CR5: Will be satisfied if ER5 is satisfied. CR6: Will be satisfied if ER9 is satisfied.

Test Procedures 4.1. Depth Test 7
8 Depth Test Preparation 1. Using the measuring tape, measure and record the depth of the body of water from the surface to the bottom. If the depth is 1 meter (Tolerance: +2cm, -15cm), skip the rest of the preparation steps. 2. Measure the thickness of the cardboard or plywood platform ( ±1 cm) 3. Cut the 2x4 stilts to the correct height ( ±1 cm) based on the depth measurement and the following formula: Stilt Height [cm] = Water Depth [cm] [cm] - Thickness of Platform [cm] 4. Attach the stilts to the platform using the wood screws. 5. Sink the platform to the bottom of the body of water and place weights at corners or tie weights to the stilts to ensure it remains in place. 6. Use the measuring tape to measure the distance between the top of the platform and the surface of the water, record the result. If the depth is 1 meter (Tolerance: +2cm, -15cm), proceed to the test procedure. 7. Remove the stilts and platform from the water and recut the stilts based on your new measurement to ensure the depth from the surface to the platform is 1 meter (Tolerance: +2cm, -15cm) Depth Test Procedure 1. Place the station above the platform so that the lowest point of the station is centered over the platform, ensure it remains centered for the duration of the test. 2. Position the fish in docking position and perform one docking sequence, one charging sequence, and one undocking sequence. 3. If the station is capable of performing these sequences the test is passed Battery Capacity Test Battery Capacity Test Preparation 1. Charge battery using RCS Battery Capacity Test Procedure 1. Measure Open Circuit Voltage of battery at full charge 2. Attach 12v 40w flood lamp and let battery discharge through it for 5 hours 3. Every hour, disconnect lamp, measure open circuit voltage, and reconnect lamp 4. After 5 hours or battery voltage reaches 11v, mark down time spent discharging. The battery capacity is 3.33*hours discharging in Amp hours 4.3. Energy Delivery Test Energy Delivery Test Preparation 1. Measure and record the initial values of the batteries (see 4.2 Battery Capacity Test). 8
9 2. Make sure the lead acid batteries have sufficient charge to supply to the LiPo battery and it s load. 3. Record the values expected of the 90% charged LiPo battery. 4. Set up a table for measuring the charging progression for use in a graph. 5. Make sure the lead acid batteries are in parallel. 6. Make sure the lead acid batteries are connected to the female connector port (there are 4 sets, however the connectors can be tested separately, so only one is needed). 7. Choose a location for testing. Ideally, this should be tested in the environment of its final use (aka a calm body of fresh water), but for our purposes, a lab will suffice since the test is limited to the lead acid batteries through to the robofish. Solar panels are tested under section 4.4 Energy Harvesting Test. 8. Set up the robofish for testing: a. NOTE: The robofish should charge with most of the load disconnected, but this is done through internal configurations. Therefore, the robofish must be on. If the robofish attempts to swim while connected to the lead acid batteries, there is an error. b. One option is to hook up the robofish s McKibben style muscles to the gas lines, then turn on. c. Another option is to submerge the robofish and connect the connectors out of the water. i. CAUTION: Do NOT allow the robofish battery or the RCS batteries to get wet! The connectors may get wet, but should not be submerged while connected. Energy Delivery Test Procedure 1. Once the preparations above ( ) are complete, attach the connectors. 2. Measure and record the current flow and voltages. 3. Set a timer for one hour. 4. Calculate and record power transfer (Watts per hour) and current wattages. 5. Use this data to predict the time to charge. 6. Wait. Once the timer goes off, repeat steps 2 through 5 until the predicted time to charge is less than the timer time. a. If the results are as predicted, the timer time may be increased. Otherwise, a decrease in timer time may be in order for more accurate results. b. Once the predicted time to charge is less than the timer time, set the timer to allow a 30 minute range of accuracy (+/- 15 minutes). 7. Disconnect the connectors. Graph the data. a. It is good practice to dissipate the charge for storage, so it is best to not leave any batteries with a full charge, although lead acid batteries will hold a high charge for a long period of time better than a LiPo battery. 9
10 4.4. Energy Harvesting Test Energy Harvesting Test Preparation 1. Set RCS, or solar panel from RCS, flat on the ground so that no portion of it is shaded by buildings, trees, or other objects/structures. Shade from clouds is acceptable. 2. Ensure the positive and negative lead wires on the panel are disconnected from any other wires or batteries. Energy Harvesting Test Procedure 1. Connect the multimeter between the positive and negative lead wires coming off the solar panel. 2. With the multimeter in a DC voltage measurement mode, measure and record the voltage across the leads. 3. With the multimeter in a current measurement mode, measure and record the current across the leads. This step must be completed within 1 minute of completing step Repeat steps 1-3 on five different days, twice each day, for a total of ten data sets. One of the five days must have no visible cloud cover and one of the five days must have visible cloud cover. The two measurements in an individual day must be taken at least 2 hours apart. Energy Harvesting Data Analysis Procedure 1. Multiply the measured voltage by the measured current to get the measured power output of the panel at the time those measurements were taken. 2. Multiply the power by an average 11 hours of daylight in a day to determine the amount of power generated each day by each solar panel. 3. Multiply the power harvested each day by the number of solar panels to find the total power harvested each day. 4. On average 222 Wh must be harvested each day based on the battery capacity of the Robofish. The final measurements must all lie within 2 standard deviations of this requirement*. *The station has enough battery capacity to charge the Robofish from zero to full at least 3 times Robofish Attachment Strength Test 1. Fix RCS Connector utilizing clamps 2. Connect the RCS and Robofish Connectors together 3. Actuate solenoids to lock connector in place 4. Apply 5 N force utilizing force gauge/weights to the Robofish Connector in the ±X, Y, and Z directions. 10
11 5. Record whether or not connection is still maintained after the force is applied. 6. Repeat Steps 4 & 5 using a 10 N force. 7. Repeat Steps 4 & 5 using a 15 N force Buoyancy and Stability Test 1. Place the Floatation_ASSY into a body of water 2. Apply 50 lbs of force to the center of the RCS 3. Record whether or not the Floatation_ASSY can support the applied force. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, except applying the force to all 4 corners of the RCS 4.7. Waterproof Test 1. Perform test to IP4 waterproof standard 4.8. Automated Process Test Automated Test Procedure* 1. Record steps 2-5 on video to provide evidence of completed test. 2. Position the Robofish so that its front grasper is around the docking pole on the RCS. 3. Hold the Robofish in place for 30 seconds, then let go ensuring it falls straight down a. Test condition 1 - The Robofish must land on the rotating positioning table. 4. After another 30 seconds, lift or float the robofish straight up until the RCS attaches it. a. Test condition 2 - The Robofish must be automatically guided into a docking port on the station. 5. Press the abort charge button to abort the charging process and release the Robofish. a. Test condition 3 - The Robofish must fall straight down out of its docking port. 6. All three test conditions must occur in order for the test to be passed. *If the Robofish cannot perform its functions automatically, move it through the required positions by hand 11
