  • Project Fetch (03.10-10.10) Week 7

      This week we have looked into how to integrate ROS with the raspberry pi and all the other components of our system. We started setting up a virtual machine with ubuntu and ROS installed. Then we use catkin python tools to build the workspace and create our own package with some simple dependencies. When […]

  • Group 4: ASD – Sprint 6

    Date: 26.09.2019 – 03.10.2019 We have mostly been working with hardware this week and we got ahold of some necessary components for the drone. We have been testing some of the parts to make sure that they work properly, as we have been playing around with the firmware to test all the capabilities it offers. […]

  • Shallow Blue week 40

    This week our group has started using the Github side that we created last week. The computer students has continued the work on tracking and recognizing the pieces and creating a chess game in unity that can later be used as an interface between the camera and the motion. During this week we have also […]

  • Group 4: ASD – Sprint 5

    Date: 19.09.2019 – 26.09.2019 We have done a lot of technical research this week to learn more about machine learning and specifically working with large datasets to achieve autonomy.

  • Group 7 – Week 6

    Week 6 Mechanical  This week started with 3D printing and testing a component in the suspension. This was required as we have to make sure the springs we have fit the design. After testing, we see that we have to adjust some dimensions as the model was slightly too large for the springs. After readjusting […]

  • Haptix week 39 and 40

  • Group 02 – Project Report – Week 5

    Mechanical & Electrical  This week we have finally started creating the first parts of the board. We have found that the building part with wood will take a bit longer than anticipated since none of the group members have any carpenter experience.  We have also tested out different dimensions for the 3D-printed parts that are going to connect with […]

  • Porject fetch (26.09-03.10) Week 6

    After having some trouble with our Raspberry Pi 3 Model 3+, we finally got it up and running Ubuntu MATE. Subsequently, we also got it running ROS Melodic Melodia, which is the latest release of ROS primarily targeted at Ubuntu. We installed and got the rtabmap_ros package running as well, but as we do not […]
