Overall Status Update
This week we have been working towards finishing our poster, final report, and gearing up towards demo day. We have 3D printed parts for the casing of our robot, and have done more system testing which we will explain in detail below.
Unit Tests
- Precision Testing – How many times are defects accurately detected?
- Recall – Number of defects identified
- Dice Score
- Position Error
- Relative Error
- Turn Accuracy
- Turn Reliability
- Signal Clarity
- Accuracy in the dark
- 2-6N of force for tapper
System Tests
- HVAC Engineer interaction with robot and report UI
- Full navigation of robot in duct with 2 90 degree bends
- Power test to make sure robot is sufficiently powered
Our Findings
We found that overall, our system performs well apart from ome voltage readings which we are trying to sort out before our demo. The overall integrated system needs a few changes to our model parameters to adjust.
What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
No significant risks to report now we are happy with our progress and should be able to make it to the final demo. We are a little concerned about testing requirements which set us back a little since having a handheld scanner system is different from when it is moving on the robot. We will seek to address these challenges in the coming week, aiming to be finished with our capstone and ready for the final demo by Thursday morning.
Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward?
No changes were made this week, we are proceeding with the design that was in place last week.
Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.
No changes have occured.
