What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
- Set up Github repo and reflashed firmware onto wearable IMU to test documentation for future developer/PhD student use
- Edited code for sending different vibration intensities for in-person device demo with our project advisor Dr. Eni Hallilaj
- Discussed with Dr. Eni Hallilaj the specifics of moving the FPA analysis processing to the app’s backend (rather than the initial assumption it would be on an onboard computer)
- Lit review of a new research paper sent to us by Dr. Eni Hallilaj that detailed the differences between scaled feedback and pulsed feedback for programming the vibration commands based on intensity
- Through resources set up by PhD candidate Vu Phan, I set up mocap FPA analysis for the ground truth mocap testing on personal laptop.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
On schedule considering earlier adjustments. We are not able to start testing FPA accuracy until we have the wearable’s version 1 that can be strapped to the leg. I’m early on getting the mocap-based FPA algorithm testing in thanks to Vu.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- Move FPA analysis implementation to the backend of the smartphone app, collaborating with Kaitlyn.
- Get Apple Developer account set up so that we can make the app portable between different devices for independent testing.
- Get access to mocap room (courtesy of Dr. Eni Hallilaj’s biomechanics lab) to test data pipeline set up on personal laptop
- Discuss the calibration techniques for FPA analysis with Iqui and Vu
