The project involves designing a smart battery pack (40C 10Ah) specifically tailored for a robotic dog, using SolidWorks as the primary design tool. The goal is to ensure the battery pack provides optimal power management, high discharge capability, essential safety features, and efficient integration with the robotic system. Learners will apply their knowledge of electrical engineering and mechanical design to create a solution that balances performance, safety, and thermal management. The battery pack must be designed to handle the high-power demands of the robotic dog, ensuring efficient energy distribution and longevity.

The project will require an understanding of power requirements, thermal constraints, BMS (Battery Management System) integration, and mechanical design for durability and weight optimization. By the end of the project, students will have developed a comprehensive design that addresses both the technical and practical aspects of battery integration in robotics.

The deliverables for this project include:

• Detailed SolidWorks model of the smart battery pack (40C 10Ah), including enclosure design, cell arrangement, and connection layout.
• Power management strategy report, detailing discharge rates, voltage regulation, and energy efficiency calculations.
• Thermal management analysis, considering heat dissipation and cooling solutions.
• Safety features implementation, focusing on overcharge protection, short-circuit prevention, and BMS integration.
• Final presentation, summarizing the design process, challenges faced, and proposed solutions.

The final submission should demonstrate a clear understanding of battery integration challenges, mechanical constraints, and power efficiency optimization for the robotic system.
