- What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
- I’ve started designing the solution approach for CatomBots search and rescue that focuses on multi-robot search, pathfinding, and cluster-based collaboration
- Jotted down thoughts on annotated visualization for user interface:
- Coverage heatmaps for global, cluster, and individual bot views to visualize exploration efficiency
- Target confidence regions to show detection certainty and prioritize search areas
- Robot clustering behavior to visualize how bots group and share tasks dynamically
- Defined some UI requirements and performance targets for global/cluster/robot views, latency, FPS, etc. Those metrics will guide both frontend design and backend data handling
- Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
- Currently, I am on schedule. I plan to continue refining the UI structure and system logic over the coming days. By the end of next week, I expect to have the core UI concepts and layout solidified, ensuring that the team can begin implementation without delays.
- What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
- Translate UI requirements into a concrete frontend mock or data schema
- Formalize cluster formation and task allocation logic, including defining how robots will decide when to form or dissolve clusters based on mission context and sensor data
