WORK ACCOMPLISHED:
In the past 2 weeks, I have been collaborating with members of the team in order to integrate the navigation and audio components with the entire system as a whole. Additionally, we were able to begin some testing of the audio input with GPS and navigation on a test route from Porter Hall to Phipps Conservatory. I have also worked on enabling the system to relay the navigation instructions to the user via a speaker.
PROGRESS:
I slightly behind in regards to testing the subsystem and building out the audio feedback components. I will be working on catching up with this work this week.
NEXT WEEK’S DELIVERABLES:
For the upcoming week, we will be testing the GPS and navigation using sample GPS coordinates and real-time GPS coordinates while riding the bike. Additionally, there will be extensive testing of the audio aspect of the system for recognizing the user’s destination from their voice command.
For the upcoming week, I will be primarily working on the audio feedback portion where the user can receive the navigation instruction via audio on a speaker and potentially a bluetooth headset. Additionally, validation and testing will be done to ensure that the navigation and audio feedback systems work as expected and provide the navigation instructions accurately and in a timely manner in accordance with the user design requirements.
TESTING:
1. For recognizing destination from voice commands: testing with 5 different voices (from different people) for 20 different destinations within the Pittsburgh area and checking the accuracy from the output of the speech-to-text system
2. For accurate navigation instructions: test multiple GPS coordinates on 10 different routes and check that the generated navigation instructions are accurate by comparing with the actual turns on a map. Additionally, I will be testing that the audio for the instructions works and returns the audio command with low latency
