Overall Progress
- UWB direction
- Began integrating LiDAR into robot movement
- Began integrating UWB into robot movement
Risks & Management
The most significant risk that our project faces is the upcoming deadline of the final demo and final presentation at the end of next week. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to obtain a direction value/relative angle, which caused us to fall behind on integration and testing. Thus, we plan to spend as much time as possible integrating all of the parts together for this upcoming week.
Design Changes & Justification
Since the direction through UWB was not working, we switched to using GPS and the iPhones’ compass headings to calculate the direction of the phones relative to each other. This design change was not ideal, as GPS is not very accurate indoors, but calculating the direction based on GPS is better than not having a direction at all.
