I practiced and presented our design review presentation. After doing more research and talking with my Autonomous Robotics professor we got a data point that our Jetson Nano might not be enough to support ROS, Object Detection, and SLAM. So we upgraded to using Jetson Orin Nanos instead. I did some work setting them up and playing with ROS on the RaspberryPI to see if the existing hexapod-controlling ros library we found on Git Hub worked.
I would say I am on schedule.
Ideally, I want to get the robot controlled with ROS using the RaspberryPI and then port it to the Jetson directly controlling it using the Issac ROS Bridge.
