HyperRail
Project Leads: __ and __

The 3D HyperRail moves in two directions moving over a 25-meter rail on the x-axis continuously,and two-meter on the y-axis with the sensor package attached on the z-axis in a 3D printed container. Nema 23 motors drive the sensor package along the rail with the use of a single belt system. The carriage can be programmed to visit a suite of locations to gather information from the on-board sensor package.

Create a linear motion system that can have any length
-
Rail system should be able to mount on tripods or building structure or stand alone frame
The HyperRail idea came from the need to analyze a crop using hyperspectral imaging. The system needs to be able to go very slow and at a consistent speed. But also cover all areas of the greenhouse. The most logical way to do this was using a stepper motor and some kind of rail. I searched for linear railing and concluded that aluminum extrusion would be a good solution for this system.
This section includes the future expectations of this project.
