Cary’s Status Report for 10/5/2024

Accomplishments This Week:
This week, I focused on selecting items for purchase based on the necessary material list. I carefully ensured that each component I chose is in the correct configuration and will be compatible with the parts my teammates have selected.

Progress Evaluation:
My progress is slightly behind schedule due to midterms. The purchase order was supposed to be submitted already, but I plan to complete this task over the weekend. However, I have no more midterms coming up, so I expect to remain on track moving forward.

Next Week’s Deliverables:
Once the items arrive, I will begin building the product and assembling the components as planned.

Leland’s Status Report for 10/5/2024

This week, I changed my camera design by picking a different type of camera. I made this change because the depth perception of a monocular webcam was not good enough. Also, the stereo cam I want is in the 18-500 inventory which is great for budget. Also, I researched some pseudo-code to start crafting what the OpenCV code will look like when I get the camera.

I’d say my progress is just a little behind where I want to be. I’d really like to get the camera next week and set it up with my laptop. Then, I can set it up with a stand and a dummy remote with Aruco tags to start calibration and computation. In the meantime of getting the camera, I can continue to build the pseudo-code for the image processing. Another thought is I will need to start crafting pseudo-code for the UART protocol of sending and receiving data from the two ESP32s we have. I’d like to include that in my report next week too.
