This week, I worked on debugging the UWB two-anchor system along with LiDAR obstacle detection pathfinding. Since most of our debugging for this was a group effort, there was nothing specific I worked on, but rather everything as a whole. I figured out that our meccanum wheels were on backwards, which caused the robot’s movements to be weird. For example, when it turned, it stuttered and often didn’t move. With the wheels flipped in the correct direction, the robot’s movements are much smoother, and its turning is better. I also finalized the wiring for the robot, along with the placement of all components in the basket and on the robot.
Overall, I am not behind, but the team is, so I am helping other team members integrate and debug their subsystems so that our robot can reach final demo status. Next week, or really the next two days, I will be helping with debugging LiDAR obstacle detection and pathfinding, making a mock aisle obstacle course for the demo, and creating a script and possibly slides for the final demo on Monday.
