We have most of our main components ordered already. We are still looking for side peripherals to interact with the Jetson like a SD card as well as mouse and monitor. This week, I have been working on learning how to interface/program the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier we have received. I am responsible for setting up all the connections between the Jetson and sensors + Roomba. Specifically, I am trying to setup the foundation (ROS and OpenCV) on the Jetson. I am a bit behind in progress since I am still waiting on necessary supplies. To catch up to schedule, I plan to devote more time next week. For next week, I hope to have an initial ROS environment set up and some code that can interface (UART) with the Roomba.
