Check here every Saturday night for our weekly progress
Weeelp, we’re finally nearing the finish line not only of this project but of our undergraduate careers. COVID-19 certainly didn’t make it easy for us, but we mustered through. It would’ve been great to have the opportunity to come together to integrate everything and see a fully finished project, but Read more…
Remote Interface! This week, in preparation for what became a rather successful Demo2, I continued to work through the CSM-Perception software integration process and, perhaps more significantly, programmed the remote interface! After preliminary work on the application last week, I realized that my approach using Apple’s antiquated tutorial was faulted Read more…
Demo 2 Feedback and Wrapping Up! This week, we had a pretty successful second demo. Diego and Ike focused heavily on the software integration and showed the perception pipeline working in tandem with the rest of the CSM. One thing that they hadn’t considered was the time that the CSM Read more…
Demo Feedback and Speeding up the Perception Pipeline After a successful demo 2 in which Ike and I showed off the merged perception and CSM functionalities, I focused on speeding up the perception pipeline in an effort to get closer to our real-time tracking goal and have motor movement decisions Read more…
I feel pretty accomplished about this week. I spent a good amount of time testing the motors and have determined that they are fast enough to meet our requirements. Tomorrow I will dedicate time to proving that they are precise enough to meet our requirements and put together some control Read more…
CSM-Perception Integration & iOS Beginnings This week, after demonstrating the independent functionality of the CSM framework to the entire team and mentors, I turned to the integration of the Perception code into the CSM together with Diego. At the moment, due to COVID-19 resultant package delays, my Jetson is narrow Read more…
This week we mainly focused on integrating the different pieces of code for this project. Previously the perception components did not work with the rest CSM but we are definitely closer to getting that all sorted out. The code responsible for the physical aspects of the system, the motors is Read more…
This week I focused on the motor manager file which turns the tracking data into motor commands and manages everything having to do with the motors. This is almost done. I need to finish a few things and do some testing. The one thing I am not totally certain about Read more…
Integrating Perception Pipeline into the CSM This week, after a successful first demo showing object tracking and object detection working independently, Ike and I started talking about integrating InFrame’s software together. Mainly, this work involved getting a basic understanding of how the CSM calls the Perception pipeline and verifying that Read more…
Demo1 Setup/Outcomes & Integration Moving Forward This week, we had our first major demo to the Professor and TA! The bulk of the work we have done since our last status update focuses on first preparing for this demo, changing our development timeline to account for feedback given during the Read more…
