This week, I mainly focused on conducting research for our proposal use-case requirements and some components necessary to achieve them.<\/span><\/p>\n To properly quantify our project\u2019s service expectations, I took a look into research about service times of existing fast food restaurants and found this 2016 research by QSR Magazine<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>particularly interesting. Although it is about drive-thru service specifically, the research data does suggest that customers expect an average service time of about 200 seconds. A news report from 2020<\/a><\/span>\u00a0claims that drive-thru has been slowing down in recent years, which means the expectation nowadays could potentially be even lower.<\/span><\/p>\n To achieve our use-case requirements (see proposal<\/a>), we need one or more directional microphones that can receive verbal inputs from a distance of 0.5m to 1.0m. They will be driven by a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino, which requires USB or I2S connectivity. Here\u2019s a list of some options I\u2019ve found so far:<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, I also took a look at available commercial databases. In our proposal, we chose to use noSQL cloud database, which leaves us with two prominent options:<\/span><\/p>\n Since we have scheduled two weeks for preliminary research (i.e. to be completed by 2\/19\/2023, the due date for our design presentation), I am on track with our schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n I hope to finalize our microphone, microcontroller, and database selection by next Wednesday, which will allow us to finish our design and start gathering chosen components. I will also be our group\u2019s presenter, so the rest of the week will be spent on polishing our presentation slides and preparing for Monday\u2019s presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Personal Accomplishment This week, I mainly focused on conducting research for our proposal use-case requirements and some components necessary to achieve them.
