What I personally accomplished this week:
I spent time establishing the foundation of our project both technically and organizationally. I set up the team project website, including the homepage introduction and structure for status reports. I worked with my team on developing our project proposal slides, helping refine the project scope, use case, and final demo concept based on feedback from Professor Hyong. Narrowing the use case toward an autonomous sidewalk delivery vehicle and clarifying how our system will detect and react to signs, obstacles, and pedestrians in a demo environment. I also helped specify demo details, including the environment setup and expected vehicle behaviors. I also did background research on FPGA based computer vision systems.
Progress relative to schedule:
Our progress is on schedule even with the change in scope. The planning, scoping, and background research focused on this week were necessary for upcoming design decisions.
Deliverables for the next week:
I plan to help finalize a detailed list of required hardware components and contribute to refining the system block diagram. I will also assist in defining use case requirements and measurable performance targets to guide our design choices going forward. Additionally, I will continue supporting the team in preparing for upcoming presentations and design reviews.
