This week our team has made significant headway on the new direction our project has taken.

Arka worked on fine-tuning his edge detection code and gathered more datasets to test his object detection code. He is still missing the cable to set up the new RasPi so he is currently testing on his computer. Next week,

Claire worked on the Z-axis component. She has now built the rack-and-pinion and motion linked the components together. She has also started working on the gripper design. Next week, she will continue to work on the gripper.

I (Maxine) continued to work on the XY gantry. I have now added all the components and completed the motion simulations. Next week, I will work on the full chassis setup.

We are also working together to create a cohesive in-lab demo for next Monday, and we are excited to showcase the work we have done so far!
