This week I worked primarily on creating the slides for the project proposal and preforming some hand calculations for new requirements and component selection. For the slides I focused on integrating our requirements throughout the rest of the presentation and fleshing out the section on our choice to use LIDAR and the needs to be met by the sensor in particular. This included some calculations about necessary range and angular resolution. Earlier in the week I also researched and compared two different rotating LIDARs from which the Slamtec RPLIDAR A1M8 was chosen due to better documentation and support as well as eye safety specifications. I also made some website modifications adding our current logo and a unique header picture.
