Perception Stack & Sensor Mounting for Autonomous Mobile Robot
Designed and released precision mounting hardware for LiDAR and camera perception stacks on an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), with a focus on vibration stability.
Integrate multiple sensing modalities (LiDAR, cameras, other perception hardware) into a constrained robot envelope while maintaining alignment under vibration.
• High vibration and shock from warehouse operation and impacts
• Tight mechanical envelope around other robot subsystems
• Required lines-of-sight for sensors and safety coverage
• Harness routing and strain relief for sensor wiring
• Need for tool access in the field
• Designed rigid, datum-controlled mounting hardware to keep perception stack aligned
• Drove serviceability: fastener access, repeatable repositioning, minimal re-calibration
• Released production-ready drawings to vendors, working within Arena PLM for traceability
• Balanced machined features vs. sheet/formed components for speed and cost
• Reduced unique hardware types to simplify assembly (DFA)
• Captured design intent and change control through formal release process
