Saral’s Status Report for 10/1

This week I worked on making the computer vision algorithm more robust to one or more pixels being blocked. This is quite useful since there is a chance that someone moving their hand over the playing field or an odd camera angle could possibly throw off the computer vision algorithm’s localization. Additionally, I worked on the Design presentation with the rest of the team and worked on solidifying some of our software architecture. I have also started work on building a visualizer for our demo. This visualizer will show exactly where the robots are in the field, and what paths they are following. This will be an invaluable tool for debugging system issues later in the project. Lastly, tomorrow (Sunday), Omkar and I will be working on the closed loop controller to make the robot motions more accurate
