Over this week, I worked on incorporating feedback from the presentation into the software subsystem design portion of the project for the Design Report. I am in the process of writing a detailed summary of all the nodes involved on the software side of the project. In particular, I had to expand on our usage of scan matching and particle filter as the level of detail for the presentation was not sufficient.
I also worked on finalizing the our block diagram including all the message types that are communicated between nodes as well as a legend (which was pointed out by the Prof. Tamal after the presentation).
I also began working on setting up the Scan Matching and Particle Filter Nodes to verify the accuracy of maps generated by manually controlling the robot.
We are slightly behind on ordering parts for the project. We will be ordering the robot chassis, IMU and LIDAR this Monday and assemble them over spring break.
