This past week was spent again on integration, as well as on the final presentation slides. We hope to be done with integration in the next two days, leaving us some time do testing and benchmarking before the poster deadline.
Testing & Validation
The tests that are highest in priority have to do with correctness (finding a valid and optimal path) and performance (achieving some speedup). Path comparison is simpler, and is done via comparison with our correct C implementation of RRT + A*. Performance will be benchmarked via timing of the RRT kernel (and compared against the software version). We will also measure end-to-end performance to see how our improvements affect the system overall.
