Jai Madisetty’s Status Report for 3/19

This week, our main goal was to get all three main components interfacing with each other (iRobot Create 2, LIDAR sensor, and NVIDIA Jetson Xavier). My main focus was working with Keshav to get SLAM working on the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier. We were able to get the LIDAR sensor interfacing with the Jetson, and we then used the Jetson with LIDAR to create a partial mapping of one of the lab benches. We still have to do some more testing, but it more or less seems like it is working properly. Scheduling-wise, I may be a bit behind as I should be close to done with path-planning. This week, I plan to work with the Kinect to get path-planning working with CV and object recognition.
