I worked on the movement system which involves obstacle detection and path planning and edge detection. The majority part of the obstacle detection works. It was able to turn right and left when there is obstacle ahead and was able to back up when the obstacle is too close ahead. The main issue was that the sensor is very sensitive to objects far away and has a high environment requirement. I spent most of the time collecting sensor data with respect to different obstacle position.
The major steps next week is to work on edge detection and improve on current path planning algorithm, which involves figuring out the best turning angle, turn speed…etc.

- Used python Image library to effectively display my images and texts while taking up as little space and time resources as possible.
- Facing issues with the image display functions blocking other threads while running and ultimately getting everything stuck.
- Drew more images and designed layout for combination of images and texts such as weather and time.
- finished up facial expressions image line-up for fake-gifs on our robot face
- load scenes
