JP Weekly Status Report (3/14/2021)

This week I did a lot of work tuning the filtering process for the ellipse detection. I was able to get a 90% detection rate with no duplicate ellipses on any cups. This took less time than I expected so I was able to start modifying the things to build on the Jetson TK1 that I recently picked up from the school. This upcoming week I plan to continue testing the real time capturing with ellipse detection. Also I plan to start testing things with on the TK1 instead of on my laptop.

Logan’s Weekly Status Report (2/20/2021)

Exploring this project more I’m excited to get working on it.  I spent this week working with everyone on the slides and doing some preliminary research/back-of-the-napkin math.  I am anxious about some of the mechanical construction challenges but fingers crossed we don’t run into any major problems.  I think that keeping our scope narrow we have a really interesting technical challenge and I can’t wait to see this robot come together.

Juan Pablo Weekly Status Report (2/20/2021)

The team seems to have a solid foundation for our project and should be able to put together an early prototype somewhat quickly. I believe we have developed a good system of splitting up the work and I personally don’t mind what I’ve been tasked to do. We look forward to diving into the unforeseen complications and adjustments we will have to make as we go along and this should not be a problem given the amount of time we have.
