1. Mandatory Performance Requirements
| ID | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| M.P.1 | The system will complete landing process on static platform in 180s, with 60% success rate | The landing process should be completed in a limited amount of time in order to be useful for real use cases |
| M.P.2 | UAV and UGV will detect and avoids obstacles with 100% success rate in standard events | Both the UAV and the UGV need to avoid obstacles perfectly for each event, otherwise critical hardware failure would occur |
| M.P.3 | In the test space (area 10x10m, path length>20m), UGV will complete mapping within 180s, with (x, y) error less than (0.2m, 0.2m) | The UGV needs to complete the mapping in a short time |
| M.P.4 | In the test space above, UGV will reach the target point within 120s, with (x, y) error less than (0.3m, 0.3m) | The UGV should be able to accurately reach the target landing point in a short time |
| M.P.5 | UAV will take off with 500g additional weight | The UAV needs to takeoff with the additional weights of sensors and magnetic force from platform |
| M.P.6 | UAV will continuously fly for 10 min | The UAV should reserve sufficient fly time which allows for plan and execution |
| M.P.7 | UAV will be able to communicate with UGV within the range of 15m | Since UAV needs to fly off to do tasks, 15m communication range is needed for testing |
| M.P.8 | Neither UGV or UAV runs out of battery during the task | Both robots need to plan energy consumption ahead to finish the task |
| M.P.9 | UAV will have a GPS error within 1m | The UAV should have an accurate GPS signal |
2. Mandatory Non-functional Requirements
| ID | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| M.N.1 | Total cost under $5000 | Budget set by MRSD project - does not include parts that are already available |
| M.N.2 | The system can be operated in an controlled outdoor environment | Both UAV and UGV must be operated and tested in an environment with desired condition |
| M.N.3 | The system should be accessible to people with almost no training | Both UAV and UGV must be controllable by people with no strong technical background |
| M.N.4 | The system has emergency stop mechanism for both UAV and UGV | The system can immediately stop when the user presses the emergency stop button |
| M.N.5 | The system should have a landing platform that fits the UGV | The UGV should have a landing platform for the UAV to land |
| M.N.6 | The UAV should have protection guard to avoid propeller injuries | The protection guard is required for the UAV to avoid propeller injuries |
| M.N.7 | The UAV and UGV’ sizes will be small enough to fit in residential environments | Both UAV and UGV should have reasonable size for ease of operation in residential environment |
