This week, we mainly worked to finalize some design specs and confirm what components we do and do not need. We’ve decided to use CV to detect targets placed all over our test environment. We scratched our idea of using sensors to detect bluetooth beacons as we are not dealing with smoke filled environments anymore.
In addition, when trying to interface the iRobot with the Jetson, the iRobot gave us an error signal and did not power on. As a result, we ordered a newer version of the iRobot Create 2, and we’re waiting on this before we get started with the programming.
