DIANA is a university students' team that competes in International Rover Competitions.

I started when the team began to project a completely new rover called FORTUNA that will be presented at ERC2025 (European Rover Challenge) in Krakow and at URC2026 (University Rover Challenge) in Utah.

My duties are:

- Projecting mechanically the arm of the rover on SOLIDWORKS

- Provide technical drawings to manufacturers

- FEM Analysis

- Additive manufacturing of the parts

The task was about Electrical Vehicle (EV) battery packages, including the sealing of the pack lid and vision inspection. The main aspects to work on were:

1. Electrical and Pneumatic I/O setup
2. Reachability Tests
3. Remote Start
4. Sealing
5. HMI
6. Vision Sorting
7. Vision Inspection
8. Documentation
9. Digital Twin

As an Application Engineer in Robotics Division I had to give technical support in pre-sale phase.

These activities consisted in estimating the reachability, durability and cycle time in given by client layouts.

The support consisted also in Vision tests on parts provided by clients in different applications as Bin-Picking and Palletizing. For these test were requested camera calibrations and creations of vision processes.

In the end of every support session I had to write the reports with the results on the clients' requests.

I gave an impact also to some showroom applications and field-bus configuration support.

The task was about the robotized sanding process. The main aspects to work on were:

1. Safety
2. Reachability tests
3. Remote Start
4. Movement pattern Creation (CAD-To-Path)
5. Electrical and Pneumatic I/O setup
6. Part detection only with an optical sensor (4 parts total)
7. HMI
8. Documentation
9. Digital Twin
