As a member of the the mechanical engineering team in the Duke Robotics Club, I was tasked with designing a mount to hold a camera within a sealed acrylic cylinder.
After brainstorming and sketching several design solutions, I decided upon a primary design based on the solution that best satisfied my design goals and constraints. I then designed the assembly in SolidWorks.
I went through multiple iterations and 3D prints to ensure the fit and tolerances were correct with respect to how the mount fit in the cylinder and how the camera fit into the mount.
M4 machine screws are used to lock the camera into the mount, and an opening is build into the back of the mount to allow cables to be passed through.
After completing an initial test of the AUV in the water, the mount proved to be effective. The computer vision team stated that the camera was held stable, and the design of the mount allowed the team to easily wire the camera to the AUV.
