The most significant risk that could jeopardize the success of our project is if one of the components break. Since our design requires a lot of components and we only have one of each, breaking one of them could jeopardize the functionality of our project. Each of these components are fully working right now, but some of them seem quite fragile with wires hanging loose. The way we design our final form factor for the belt will be crucial so that components are embedded securely onto it. We don’t want a belt that would have our components hanging loose or falling while the user is walking around. Since all the other components are fixed in place, the belt would be the most fragile part of our design and would need careful planning.
The only changes made to the existing design of the system is to do processing on a separate node instead of the Jetson. The Jetson does not have enough compute to segment the image, so we will be offloading that compute to the laptop instead.
