Progress In the final week, we successfully delivered the final presentation and the public demo. We are humbled yet thrilled to receive Apple’s Honorable Mention Award at the end! The development of IR Man was truly a fun and learning process and the result was rewarding. After the capstone Read more…
Progress In week 14, I had progress in figuring out the final bit of servo arm control, mechanical integration/strengthening, painting IR Man and extensively testing IR Man against the requirements and metrics. I was painting the IR Man with the Iron Man color over the break and the result of Read more…
Progress In week 14, as a team, we made huge progress by finishing (almost) our capstone project. We are proud to say that, IR Man is done. CV Device Locator Algorithm extensively tested and tuned Servo Arm Control and Motion Assemble with Slip Ring Motion dead-reckoning with stepper motor and Read more…
Progress: I had an onsite interview so there is no much that I did for the last week except for assembling the 3D printed IR man body on the rotating base. Deliverable next week: Basically finish off the list of tasks listed in the team deliverables because many tasks require Read more…
Progress In week 13, I had progress in manufacturing all the mechanical parts for the IR Man, rotating base, chassis, and mount. I also benchmark tested the CV device locator pipeline with Shirley. The IR Man figurine is successfully printed on Stratsys 3D printer and the finish is great. While Read more…
Progress In week 13, as a team, we made extensive progress and the following objectives were done. All 3D printed parts done (IR Man Body Printed) Rotating Base Parts Manufactured and Assembled Initial Electrical Integration Testing Accomplished IR Man Servo Arm Attached to Body Client to GPU server async connection Read more…
Progress Integrated object detection server with web app and raspi on a crude IRMan mechanical structure. Pipeline work s under conditions with no interrupts. Recorded the time used for calibration: 103 seconds in normal case. Improve data post processing to make sure the position calculated for the same device on Read more…
Progress: I mainly worked on building the physical IR Man device: finding a solidworks model for 3d-printing the IR man body and arm and building the rotating base. 3-D printing took longer than I expected, since we needed to use the largest 3d printer in the maker space and the Read more…
Progress In week 12, I had progress in integrating all the electrical stuff by capturing and soldering all components to a PCB board. In addition, I worked with Max in mechanical integration. The IR Man Arm was printed in PLA. And I have concept proven with driving the motion of Read more…
Progress In week 12, as a team, the following objectives were done. All Mechanical Parts Arrived for the rotating base SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling Done 3D printed IR Man Arm and tested motion with servo 3D printed IR Man Body Laser Cut Base and assembled rotary mechanical parts Soldered Motor Read more…
