What I did the week before

Proposing project use cases, finalizing proposal, and initializing this site.

What I did this week

My time this week is spent on figuring out how to implement motion planning algorithm (Rapid-exploring Random Trees, or RRT) and what infrastructure we should have to support the simulation of a RRT use case.

I’ve spent a good amount of time revisiting the RRT paper in detail and the rest of the time probing for a potential framework that we could use to construct 3D scenes. In the end I found that octomap maps well to our use case, and I’m planning to confirm this with my teammates in our meeting tomorrow (Sunday, Feb 11th).

What I plan to be doing next week

Building the basics of the simulator.
