Week #6

Hardware Team Report #

Presentation: #

We prepared the presentation in the way that we see the most efficient to tell the story of our product. It includes:

  • Our project description and it’s validity

  • Information about our team members

  • The list of overall steps

  • Simplified breakage of every step

  • Final result of the project + IRL demonstration (3-4 minutes)

  • Future steps on improvement

  • Final words

We formulated the slides in the language that we think will be most effective to reach the main audience. Also the speech on the final presentation won’t contain the content from the slides, as people will give speeches prepared in advance.

Our team understands the importance of the visual content of the presentation. That’s why we will include relevant photo and video materials to the slides. Also we plan on adding the showcase video which will be played as our team gives the demonstration on the final product. At the end of the presentation we will include a QR-code to the Figma page with all of the information relevant to the project, including contact of the team, calculations, graphs etc. We hope that this measure will help our possible clients to keep interested in our project.

Here is the link to the prototype of our presentation: **[link]**

Weekly Progress Report: #

For the 6th week our team did the assembly of the robot. All of the parts we ordered now arrived and assembled on the frame. Also this week we presented solutions for different mechanisms that potential customers stated they are looking for from previous feedback collections and questionnaires.

Challenges & Solutions #

Our team faced a problem with setting up Nvidia Xavier which led to its failed connection to the motor drivers. This problem was resolved and tests confirmed that these parts work together properly.

Conclusions & Next Steps #

Next steps are the final steps of our journey, they include:

  • Making sure that robot is assembled properly

  • Running tests on assembled robot

  • Connect hardware with the software solution and run test

  • Finish the aluminum shell of the robot and give it a final look
