What did you personally accomplish this week on the project?
This week, I completed the code for determining the box’s speed and depth (y-coordinate). This involved continuously tracking the QR codes using the webcam and estimating continuous center position movement over time. I tested it using our Brio3000 webcam on actual boxes moving on the treadmill, and it seems to work accurately.
Is your progress on schedule?
We are running on schedule, although we’re less ahead than we were a few weeks ago. With the hardware almost ready to be integrated with the CV / kinematics / control code, our overall progress should pick up again soon.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I plan on completing the Arduino code and the Python/Arduino interfacing code so that we can immediately run our software as soon as the arm is ready. Hopefully we can also start testing our QR / movement code with the arm.
