2. Stages in developing Robotics Research

3. Research Planning Stage

4. Research Planning Stage Objective/Research purpose In our daily lives, if we know our destination, we can choose a path to reach there. Similarly in research, if we know what we are looking for then we can decide how we can accomplish it. -G ives direction -H elps to avoid any diversion from the topic -M inimizes the wastage of resources -Provides ease in understanding the research

5. Research Planning Stage Platform and standards Know your platform for your research. Despite the value of academic research to different fields, academics face several challenges such as IPRs and utilization. First and foremost, researchers need to secure their work; seek support for utilization, promotion and dissemination, such as from government departments or private entities. -What platform? -What is the scope of such platform? -What are their rules and regulations? their standards?

6. Research Planning Stage Platform and standards Research Plan/Proposal or Project Summary ( Intel ISEF Format 2023) a. RATIONALE: Include a brief synopsis of the background that supports your research problem and explain why this research is important and if applicable, explain any societal impact of your research. b. RESEARCH QUESTION(S), HYPOTHESIS(ES), ENGINEERING GOAL(S), EXPECTED OUTCOMES: How is this based on the rationale described above?

7. Research Planning Stage Platform and standards c. Describe the following in detail: Procedures: Detail all procedures and experimental design including methods for data collection, and when applicable, the source of data used. Describe only your project. Do not include work done by mentor or others. If you will use published surveys, questionnaires or tests, describe how you obtained these, including required permission if applicable. Risk and Safety: Identify any potential risks and safety precautions needed. Data Analysis: Describe the procedures you will use to analyze the data/results.

8. Research Planning Stage Platform and standards D. BIBLIOGRAPHY: List major references (e.g. science journal articles, books, internet sites) from your literature review. Note: Hazardous chemicals, activities & devices: Describe Risk Assessment process, supervision, safety precautions and methods of disposal.

9. Research Planning Stage FEASIBILITY Project Feasibility considers all the critical aspects of a proposed project to determine the likelihood of it succeeding. -Practicality -Project cost -Time frame -Resources

10. Research Planning Stage novelty Novelty is one of the patentability requirements which means an invention is not patentable if it was already known or no single piece of prior art discloses every element of the claimed invention before the date of filing. Novelty means "new compared to prior art"; it states the requirement that, to be patentable, an invention must somehow be different from all published articles, known techniques, and marketed products.

11. Evaluation and Approval Stage

12. Evaluation and Approval Stage Peer/ EXPERTS review

13. Evaluation and Approval Stage Peer/ EXPERTS review

14. Evaluation and Approval Stage Peer/ EXPERTS review

15. Evaluation and Approval Stage Peer/ EXPERTS review

16. Evaluation and Approval Stage Scientific Review Committee A Scientific Review Committee (SRC) is a group of qualified individuals that is responsible for evaluation of student research, certifications, research plans and exhibits for compliance with the rules, applicable laws and regulations at each level. Note: Completeness and accuracy of documents and/or forms are of advantage for approval of proposed research.

17. Implementation Stage In the implementation stage, the research methodology plays the greatest role. It serves as the soul in bringing the plan to life. It is then important to follow your Robotics Design Process (RDP). A robotic design is defined as a specification of a robot, manifested by a robot designer, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular robotic environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints; to create a robotic design.

19. Implementation Stage In the implementation stage, the research methodology plays the greatest role. It serves as the soul in bringing the plan to life. It is then important to detail also the following key elements in the methodology part. System/Device model/layout- hardware components System flow- IPO Program flow- software components

20. Final Report The robotics research write-up depends to what platform you choose. This means that there is no single universal set of criteria in making your final report. However, it is important to have basic knowledge in basic parts of scientific research. This involves the Introduction, Methodology, Results and discussions and Conclusions or Implications .
