I worked this week on deciding on the best motors we planned to use based on the requirements of our project. I have worked on initial designs of how the motors will interact with the umbrella; I also looked into different umbrellas/canopies we’re going to purchase, along with the best material/fabrication to use so the arms and joints don’t put too much pressure on the motor.s
My work is currently on schedule with the reworked schedule that we put into place after our project changes from Professor and TA feedback. Next week, I hope that once we acquire a camera, our motors, and the umbrella/canopy, I can start making progress towards the implementation of the lighting calibration and user detection.
