Jack’s Status Report for 2/18/2023 – Team B4 : Robotic Trash Concierge

What did I accomplish?:
- Got LIDAR driver setup on development machine. Ran test application to make sure that the LIDAR was working properly.
- Finalized and practiced for the design presentation.
- Got ArUco tag identification working with George.
Am I on schedule?: Because I focused on the presentation and setting up the Jetson, which took longer than expected (still having trouble getting it to connect over ethernet), I am behind on LIDAR implementation. If its not possible to troubleshoot, I will just buy a usb network adapter instead of using ethernet.
What deliverables do I want to complete next week?:
1. Compile MATLAB SLAM & Navigation Toolbox to the Jetson.
2. Get ArUco pose estimation working
Please list the particular ECE courses (if any) that covered the engineering science and mathematics principles your team used to develop your design?:
1. 18-100: We the knowledge from 18-100 when calculating the required battery size our robot would need to meet our use case requirements.
2. The knowledge required for ArUco tag identification came from outside of school learning.
