This week, I completed our group final presentation with Xinyu. Also, we collected the pipes we ordered from the receiving office, and worked together to assemble the robot, attaching the pipe to the robot base, basket to the pipe, and fixing the raspberry pi and breadboard on the robot base. After all, we successfully built the robot that has around 1m height for the convenience of putting/grabbing stuffs in the basket just as what our use case requirement specifies. We also ran some more walking trials to test out some edge cases to ensure that the robot remains safe from collisions and has expected behaviors. Finally, we recorded some videos to showcase the robot following a person. At this point, our project is pretty much done.
I am currently on schedule, as this week is supposed to be me working together with Xinyu to complete some final refinements and final edge testing of the product, which we successfully did. I’m glad that we are able to get the product done before the final week, so that we can use the remaining time to work on final video and demo.
Next week, We will be doing our final demo, so we should prepare the demo materials and plan for how we want to showcase our product. Also, we will make the final video and complete the final report by the deadlines next week.
