What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or
photos that demonstrate your progress.
This week I continued working on the software for our robotic arm. I tested the kinematic equations to make sure they were working as expected. To do this, I created a bunch of test cases for robotic arm positions and their corresponding angles and verified that our equations solved them correctly. Other than that, I started to work on the design report, adding information from our slide deck as well as the feedback we received. We also ordered and received the camera that we will be using for the box localization, which will be a major part of the project.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be
taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Our progress is on schedule as we received many of the parts we plan on using and have a solid start on the software component of the project.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Next week, I plan to help set up the camera and integrate it into our system. We want to ensure that we can receive images correctly to our computer that we will eventually pipeline into the CV algorithm. Other than that, if we have time, I plan on working more on the CV code and testing it with the images we get from our camera. This will be a sort of integration test for the entire CV system to ensure that it is working as expected. I also plan on helping finish the design report due next week.
