Aditti’s Status Report for 2/11

This past week I focused on researching different sensor modules and robot chassis for our use-case scents and shortlisted parts for ordering. I also worked on the CV pipeline for finding centroids of various objects on a map by thresholding and segmenting. The model takes in a raw camera image, maps it to a 4×4 grid, and finds the centroid coordinates of each object on the map. The code still needs to be tested with the images from the actual camera that we will end up using. Since we are behind on ordering parts, I think robot assembly + CAD will have to be completed within the next week, which is why I decided to work on the segmentation section this week. By next week I aim to finalize the robot CAD and assemble the robot and also start thinking about path planning logic.
