Personal Accomplishments
I worked alongside Erin on a Jetson Nano we had to get familiar with the device setup. Obstacles we faced along the way as mentioned in the team report is our first power brick not supplying enough power, leading to impromptu shutdowns, in addition to the device not supporting Wi-Fi natively. Our accomplishment in that regard was fixing the power issues and successfully setting up a wireless connection. Subsequently, I got a YOLO v3 model working on OpenCV by setting up Anaconda and installing any required dependencies.
Lastly, I worked alongside the rest of the team on refining the project’s design and picking the necessary components that we will be ordering, both from 18500’s inventory and internet listings.
Schedule
We are not behind by much now. The design presentation is coming up in under two weeks, which prompted us to begin finalizing our design choices. We expect to wrap up our project design and the corresponding presentation on time. As we are on track for the design presentation, we also expect to order our parts for prototyping soon.
For my part, I will begin compiling databases for our CV model in addition to finalizing the YOLO version that will go utilized.
Next Week’s Deliverables
I hope to complete the design presentation alongside the group. I also aim to have a compiled dataset on recyclable material for our model to learn off. Finally, I would like to help the team finalize the required parts for us to place the order.
