The most significant risks which could jeopardize the success of the project are in regards to completing the build of the robot base in time and overall integration testing. To manage these risks, we delegated a week to sourcing materials and ordered parts as soon as we could. For integration, Read more…
This past week, I have been working on setting up ROS on the Raspberry PI. I have also been working on learning ROS and defining motion requirements for the robot. This Monday, I delivered our team’s design review presentation. Overall, I was able to present the major design decisions we Read more…
This past week, I spent a great deal of time working on the design for the robot. I researched existing trash collecting robots (on land/ water) and other mechanisms that collect objects (ex. vacuum cleaners, applications in farming, cleaning, toy-collecting etc.). Last week, we partly decided on the roller mechanism; Read more…
This week, I spent time researching components and defining design constraints for our design. In continuation of the use case requirements we defined in the proposal last week, I came up with several new design requirements that helped aid in constraining and defining the product in greater detail and finalized Read more…
The most significant risks of the project right now whether the pick up mechanism, in coordination with the rest of the design, will work well and integration between the Jetson Nano Orin and Raspberry Pi. After thorough research, receiving feedback from Professor Mukherjee, and speaking with our TA, Aidan, we Read more…
