Aryan’s Status Report (03/27)

This week Tom, Tyler and I met early in the week to finalize and complete our design report submission which was due on Wednesday. I was primarily focused on the design requirements for the project as well as the software system diagram. I created a new software system diagram along with Tyler as seen below:

The design requirements section was where we formalized our points from both the proposal presentation as well as the design presentation and hence helped us refine our ideas a little more and helped me gain a lot of clarity on the final product specification and designs. I truly do understand the benefits of this design and presentation process now as if it weren’t for this I believe that it would’ve been a lot harder for us in the implementation stage as we would not have accounted for so many external factors.

Aryan’s Status Report 03/13

This week we had the design review presentation and I worked on implementing the slides for the design review presentation. The main slides I worked on was the software layer slide, and the project management slide.

We also finalized the master ordering list and placed the orders using the forms provided to us on Canvas. We have received the orders today and picked them up from the ECE department and we will begin separating and sequencing these parts into the stages of the project so that when we start implementation and building will be easier.

We have also begun work on our formal design review submission and I aim to complete my sections (Abstract, Introduction, Risk Mitigation, Bill of Materials, Cost Management and Project management) by EOD Monday.

Aryan status report (03/06)

This week I worked on designing the software layer of the project (interaction between the application and user) as well as going through all specific parts required for the ordering of the project and finalized our master ordering list.

I also updated our Gantt chart for the project to make sure the project management section of our slides (design presentation) was up to date.

Introduction & Project Summary

We are creating an automated drinks maker robot that will be Bluetooth enabled which will allow users to connect to the robot and create drinks. We aim to design a user-friendly, fast, drinks maker that eases the burden on users from mixing and creating their drinks manually. As well as this, the phone application paired with the device will collect data from the user’s drinking habits to provide insightful statistics and visuals informing the users about their preferences.
