This week each team member individually researched the tasks that we were assigned to. Ludi and Esther also worked on cadding the design for the chassis and the claw of our robot. We met with Tamal and Tao on Wednesday, and received feedback from our proposal presentation. A concept that we discussed in depth was using a vacuum grip system rather than the claw for retrieving the object. Esther did a lot of research into this idea, and the team decided that we will proceed with the claw as we are still very unsure about the vacuum grip design.
We also worked on the design presentation and used the feedback we received last week to update some of our requirements. We discussed our current requirements, such as the distance between objects, height of the shelf, and accuracy measurements, and updated those to reflect the needs that arise from our use case.
