What is TEMP?

Temperature Evaluation Monitoring Process (TEMP).

During these unprecedented times many different procedures and processes have been put into place in order to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. From wearing masks to social distancing, many things can be done to slow, but not completely eliminate the spread of the virus. At ERAU, daily wellness check stations have been implemented to act as a gateway onto campus. Wellness check station employees check the temperature of students and faculty, and based on that temperature issue them a daily sticker of varying color for their school ID. By having this interaction between two individuals there is a low risk of COVID-19 spread, but a risk nonetheless. TEMP aims to eliminate the potential for spread at wellness check stations by providing an autonomous robotic alternative to human employees at the stations.

Servo is Alive

We gave the servo a short program to go from a 45 degree angle to a 135 degree angle. There is an orange wire temporarily attached to the servo blade in order to mark the desired side. We will be attaching a sharp blade to the servo once we have confirmed the orientation of the servo.

Motor Testing

After a short wiring incident, we got our motor running. We have tested that the motor rotates in both directions. For our use, we only need the motor to rotate clockwise, as you see above. We will be doing further testing on motor speed and duration, along with the motor position encoder to ensure that the system spits out exactly one sticker.
