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 Read more…
This past week, we presented our project during the interim demo. After receiving feedback, we redefined our gantt chart and goals moving forward. A lot of my work this week was based on the feedback from demo and fixing up Read more…
This week, I spent a lot of time finishing up the build for our robot. First, Hirani, Ritu, and I were able to attach the motor mounts on the robot base for our pick up mechanism. Then, Hirani and I 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 Read more…
This past week, I spent most of my time on the build and integration of our robot as it was the most important component left to get working for our interim demo, with the overall code seemingly in a good Read more…
This past week, I spent a significant amount of time finishing up the build for the robot, integrating electronic components, and testing the sensors and motors on the side. Primarily in preparation for interim demo, I placed a large focus 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, Read more…
This week, overall, I spent more than 12 hours to work on the capstone project. First, I finalized all the parts for the conveyor belts. I’ve decided to use 12v DC motors mounted on the bottom aluminum extrusion with 20:48 Read more…
This week I mostly took it easy after spending ~30hrs on capstone last week. I was able to collect a bunch of water bottles and soda cans for future testing, however. While I did work on some code for using Read more…
This past week, I worked on finishing up the build for the robot and ordering parts for the inner mechanisms (conveyor belt and roller). I have been working on build with Ella and we met up multiple times over the Read more…
