1. Status Report #8 Food DIP Team 11 Device that detects irregularities in perishable goods before distribution Brandy Alger Travis Ayers Josue Figueroa Joaquin Labrado

2. Overall Need for Design Prevention of food poisoning epidemic, recalls, and packaging money loss for packing bad food. Design Milestones – All hardware functionally tested (3/17) – Stand for gripper/brush on the arm (3/20) – Image Processing Algorithm done (3/20)

3. Tasks Completed Microcontroller integrated with slide/arm Website design Conveyor belt tested Frequent visits to SwRI Meet with Business team and Mentor Attached brush to belt – brush customizable

4. Ongoing Tasks Integrate slide/arm with image processor Mount slide/arm to conveyor belt Take complete database for simulation Meet with business team weekly Tweak Algorithm for Testing Mount everything to the belt

5. Upcoming Tasks Full design requirements testing Arm: Design a PID controller and test Accelerometer. Mount housing and sensors Synchronize all parts
