The primary risks associated with our project right now are final integration and the robot’s ease of access when collecting a trash component while moving. During testing, we found that the robot has difficulty picking up the components while moving – due to the orientation of the roller & the Read more…
The most significant risk we are encountering right now is not being able to integrate all the components (from Jetson Orin to ultrasonic sensors) until the final demo. However, we are managing to mitigate this risk by committing more time and distributing work to speed up the process. Also, we Read more…
This past week, our team made durable progress on integration between the Jetson Nano Orin and the Raspberry Pi 4 as well as circuitry & movement for the wheels of the robot. We provided an image of the robot with the wheels connected to the circuitry below and two videos: Read more…
Currently, the most significant risk that can jeopardize the success of our project is in our pick-up mechanism, as we found our prototype unable to pick up trash properly. Sometimes, the robot can get the trash into the roller, sometimes it is not. However, we have not gotten a consistent Read more…
As we are heading towards integrating parts together, the main risk we might encounter is the unforeseen technical difficulties with connecting electronic devices with our physical robot. The mitigation for this issue is unit-testing each component (Jetson Orin, Raspberry Pi, ultrasonic sensor, etc,.) individually and, subsequently, integrate and test them Read more…
One of the risks that we are concerned about is the integration of the ROS packages we are using. As we have not used ROS before, we are a bit concerned about how well different ROS packages/ components work together. We are considering running part of the path-planning algorithm on Read more…
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…
The most significant risks right now are difficulties in collecting materials for our build base and missing parts necessary to effectively use the Jetson Nano Orin. To mitigate these risks, we plan to dedicate next week to sourcing materials from RoboClub and any additional items that need to be ordered. Read more…
The most significant risk right now is the usage of tiny Yolo V7. According to MATOM Ai, although tiny Yolo model processes faster and lightweight, it is less accurate than Yolo V7 (MATOM Ai, 2022). This means it can give us more false positives, which is a critical component to 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…
