Progress
This week, we lost access to our lab and our hardware, so we had to re-scope part of our project due to the recent situation. We wanted to transition to remote by keeping the integrity of the project but also having enough individual components for each of us to work on. We originally planned to do everything in simulation, but now we are shipping the hardware and building out each component individually. More information is attached in our statement of work.
Deliverables next week
Gesture recognition
We are working on ways to run the system locally. We lost remote access to our Xavier board, so we are figuring out alternatives on AWS or if we can get it shipped to us. The top priority will be to get the gestures we already recognize working again on the new setup. We are also waiting for our webcams and equipment to ship, as the webcam quality from the laptop is much worse.
Robot manipulation
We don’t have an access to the robot, so for the next couple weeks, we will work on the robot through simulation. This will give us some ideas on how the robot will behave with the algorithms. We hope to get some working 2D-mapping algorithm through the simulation.
Schedule
Behind schedule, but we have readjusted it for remote work.
