This week was spent mostly on integrating systems in preparation for the demo and final documents. I fine tuned some of the movement values, e.g. the L-R turn values, and the forward drive amounts for the autonomous steering system. Additionally, I worked on the physical integration, such as wiring and hardware. We were able to optimize some of the fastenings, making them more secure, and reprinted the shelves to be easier to work with.
I also helped fine tune the fire sensor and integrate it into the automatic system. We ended up breaking the Pi Camera somehow, so I also created a manual backup. This will be helpful in case we run into vision issues during demo and will be a decent fallback for showing the capabilities of the system while also being “cool”. I will be working on this for the upcoming days to fix the camera issue and do quality tests. Additionally will need to finish the documents and poster.
