Sean’s Status Report for March 28, 2026
What I Personally Accomplished This Week
This week I focused on physical system assembly and integration testing. I built and organized the chassis, mounting the motor drivers, Raspberry Pi, KR260, and wiring all electrical connections. I worked with the team on testing the integrated navigation stack with the motor control system and debugging issues with the RPLidar initialization timing. I also contributed to planning our interim demo, where we aim to demonstrate functional autonomous navigation with basic computer vision human detection.
Progress Status
Progress is on track for the interim demonstration. The chassis is assembled and ready for testing, and the navigation stack is operational. Integration work continues as planned.
Deliverables for Next Week
Integrate for human detection data from the KR260 and validate end to end communication between vision and navigation systems. Testing of the complete system on the assembled chassis to ensure reliability.
