Sebastian’s Status Report for 4/3/2021

Accomplishments
- Set up ssh keys for the Xavier on 2/3 of our laptops. Once set up on all 3, we will disable password authentication for ssh so we don’t get hacked again.
- Worked with Advaith to get the robot driving in some spots on campus with a human operator
- Determined that we cannot change our network architecture since a hotspot does not work with ROS. Our intended solution is to have our robot be the network core instead of the ground station, and allow the robot to continue delivering during short network disconnects.
Progress Timeline
- Our progress is on schedule
Next Week Deliverables
- Write integration test between the robot state machine and the ground station
- Implement the robot heartbeat package – need to synchronize sensor readings coming in at different rates
- Assist with path planning
