Over this past week, I was able to get Isaac ROS VSLAM running on our Jetson Orin Nano, using example data provided from a RosBag (see image below). We have verified that VSLAM does work through the visualizations, but are yet to verify this using our own data.
Furthermore, I have been working together with Kobe to develop our master controller node, which handles the overall flow logic of the robot (ie. transitioning from search state to find state, the actions to do within each state). This has involved
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
We are still a bit behind schedule, as we had originally planned to begin testing and integration by now. So, we will have to eat up some of our slack time.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
Over this next week, I hope to complete the controller node such that we can have all the software (excluding VSLAM for now) fully integrated, such that the robot is able to move around and search for objects.
