This week our team worked together to integrate the subcomponents of the robot. First, we experimented with the MPU 6050 gyroscope but later realized that the IMU would have a better prediction. We also built the testing shelves for the robot. We then performed integration of moving to the basket, orienting with the shelf, driving up to the basket, recognizing a laser-pointed object, and retrieval of the object. There are still some issues with the computer vision laser-pointing technique as noise is still being picked up, but overall the project is promising. Hopefully, by Thanksgiving break, the laser pointer recognition can be improved, and a preliminary demo can be given.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
