System Progress
This week, we worked on both software and hardware development. The vision subsystem can now run MediaPipe for hand detection, and the voice module has been integrated with hardware control using Python and I2C. We also started assembling the motor chassis and testing basic motor control and ToF sensing.
System Design & Changes
There are no major changes to our system design this week. We continue to use the Raspberry Pi as the main controller and keep STM32 as a backup option. The system is still developed in separate modules before integration.
Risk & Mitigation
One risk is hardware integration delay, since some components arrived later and testing is still in progress. We also observed some instability in sensors like the ToF module. To address this, we are testing each subsystem independently and debugging hardware connections before full integration.
Next Week’s Plan
Next week, we will set up the Raspberry Pi environment and connect all subsystems together. We will also continue improving the stability of the vision and sensing modules. Our goal is to start system-level integration and prepare for the interim demo.
