Leland’s Status Report 11/16/24

This week, I made significant progress by working collaboratively with team members to integrate various components of the system. Specifically:

  • Gantry System Integration: Successfully integrated the camera software with Jack’s gantry system.
  • Remote System Integration: Worked closely with Cary to integrate the remote system, enabling the remote to communicate effectively with the ESP32 for the gripper.
  • Gripper Control Software: Completed the gripper control software, allowing the gripper to respond quickly to remote inputs.
  • Camera Stand: Jack constructed a camera stand, which has greatly improved the stability and usability of the camera setup for testing and integration.

These contributions have allowed us to achieve a fully integrated system.

Currently, I am on track with the revised project timeline. The integration work completed this week ensures that we are well-positioned to achieve our MVP for the Interim Demo on 11/18.

My primary goals for the coming week are:

  1. Address the issues that are presented during the Interim Demo
  2. Start trials for the design and user requirement tests
  3. Start integration for depth measurement

Verification for the camera system

  • Measure the distance traveled in software and compare to the actual distance moved by the user
    • Record the  xy coordinates of the ArUco tag on the remote calculated by OpenCV and compare them with the actual dimensions of the visible workspace
