Progress
These past two weeks were hectic as we tried to deal with transitioning our project to work remotely. Alot of time was spent to bouncing around different ideas for how we could change our project and doing research to see what of the methods were visible. We originally wanted to move the project to simulation, so we were looking into methods like Webots and Gazebo. After further discussion with Marios, we decided to still have the robot run locally at Sean’s place and have Rama and my parts run remotely, integrated with video editing.
On the technical side, I’m looking into streaming my webcam footage to the xavier board to process the gestures. Even though latency is not as much of a concern, I want to make sure that is is fast enough for development. I am also working on evaluating the code to see how much we can reuse with the new project.
Deliverables next week
Next week, I want to make sure all the existing gestures can be recognizing through the home environment. (Everything except for the point) And I want to start gathering data again for the gestures and the point with my new home environment. I don’t know if I will receive the webcam and hardware from Quinn, but I’ll try to set that up if it arrives.
Schedule
Behind schedule, but we have readjusted it for remote work.
