  • Week 44 Group 6

    This week for us for very exciting, we finally got the parts we ordered from china that took a bit longer than expected. But now we can finally start making real progress with the construction of the tank.  Computer:  We have now started on developing the controls for the tank. We bought a Playstation controller […]

  • Shallow Blue week 43

    Helge Sondre Ulberg, Oriana Presacan and Ole Henrik Flesaker. Last week we created the bounding boxes. Without them the camera wouldn’t differentiate between the pixels of each chess piece. We tried to find the center of each array in order to know where to put the box. We are still working on finding the exact […]

  • Group 7 – Week 9

    Week 9 Mechanical  Jonas: After deciding to go for the laser as our “firing mechanism” i designed a simple cog-wheel system to control the upwards motion of the cannon, and the sideways rotation of the tower. Needing only 2 stepper motors, there is a lot more room than what we initially thought, and so we […]

  • Group 4: ASD – Sprint 9

    Date: 17.10.2019 – 24.10.2019 We had some issues with the Arduino board as well, especially with ROSSerial. It suddenly stopped working and it took a while to figure out what really happened. We realised that if we open the serial post device using GNU screen, it will set the correct settings for the Arduino, which […]

  • AutoDrink, week 42

    Since last time we have constructed, printed and built the frame of the drinking system. . . The trolley is also printed and mounted on the rod. Inside the trolley there are four wheels that will fit the slots in the rod and make sure that the trolley will remain in the right position while […]

  • Autodrink, week 43

    This week we have worked with much of the same as last week.  The new thing is that the motor which will control the pump is working, but we have to make a new 3D model of the pump before we can test the it. The trolley, which is mounted on the rod, was a […]

  • Group 1 -Project Fetch- Week 9 18.10 – 25.10

    This week we have continued working on understanding the rtabmap package we’re using, looking at the data it provides on its topics with rviz. Cameras have still not yet arrived (as was mentioned last week they were lost in shipping and had to be reordered) so tasks such as configuring the cameras and working on […]

  • Haptix Week 42

    Petter We’ve got a working solvable rubix cube. https://streamable.com/iqkpi Right now the colliders causing the movement are located inside the cube, I’m planning on adding a better way of triggering the actions soon, but this will allow us to test the system. Daniel For this week I am working on connecting the Leap Motion device […]

  • Week 43 Group 6

    Electro: Motors control Introduction The tank driving system is only composed for two belts and in each belt, we’ve got one motor. Combining the two motors parameters we have the control to go forward, backward and make turns in both sides.  As we commented previously, we’ll use 12 VDC/330 RPM motors. We can control the […]

  • Group 02 – Project Report – Week 8

    Mechanical  This week has not yielded much progress, as the 3D-printers have been occupied a lot of the time and we need all the parts before we begin mounting them together. Therefore, rather than not doing anything, the parts we’ve had available have been mounted together and they have gone through a kind of test to see […]
