Look who's talking!
Last status report! I’m actually going to miss working on capstone 🙂 This week I worked on putting final touches on the animation such as making changes that we talked about last week and adding functionality for mode switches, text, arrows and more clarity to …
This week I worked on the animation that will be the output for our final project. The animation will represent how the actual device would have worked if the circumstances had allowed us to work with the motors, motor hats and 3D printers etc. Working …
This week I spent a lot of time working more on the classifier. Throughout the week we received hundreds of images from our posts on various social media platforms requesting images as well as from family and friends. We have now collected over 1200 images …
This week we spent a lot of time getting our manual mode ready for the demo! This meant that I was primarily working on the hand gesture classifier, Shrutika was working on animation, and Gauri was working on planning and integration. I spent Monday (04/06) …
This week we all worked individually on our predetermined parts rather than meeting to discuss decisions. On Monday, we met briefly to discuss our progress on our respective parts. I spent the majority of this week working on the neural net classifier for the hand …
This week we met on Monday (03/23) to discuss what to do about the microphones and we finally ordered four of the cheap adafruit microphones as only one of our devices will display automatic mode. I worked on downloading the gesture dataset. We met on …
This week we met on Monday (03/16) to float around ideas for how to transition our project to accommodate the new remote setup such as using an animation instead of a physical platform and motor as the output of our control loop. We then briefly …
The week before spring break some of parts arrived! Our motors as well as the cameras, arrived. We also figured out details for our audio input and solidified plans. Making this post now, our project and plans seem so distant. It’s difficult to figure out …
This week I worked on making a lot of the design choices for our project as well as the slides for the design review presention. I spent last weekend researching the different parts available to us and the pros and cons of each of these …
This week I worked on doing research for the design review while Gauri and Shrutika figured out how to ssh into the Pis. This was due to the fact that there are only two Pis and I did not have a USB to USB-c cable …
