1. Project # 12, Smart Walker REU student: Jonathan Guilbe Graduate mentors: Sharare Zehtabian, Siavash Khodadadeh Faculty mentor(s): Dr. Turgut, Dr. Boloni
Week 7 (June 25 – June 29, 2018)
Accomplishments:
Nearly got a new setup on the Pi completed. Instead of Raspbian, we’re using Ubuntu Mate to try and install Point Cloud Library.
While waiting for parts for the new walker setup, did some research on installing and using the haptic motors.
Problem & Solutions
Parts didn’t come until late yesterday, so we couldn’t set up a test environment.
Point Cloud Library seems to only like Linux, and we only have 1 Linux computer.
Compiling PCL requires more RAM than the Pi has, which has been causing us headaches.
Plans for next week:
Build the new Kinect walker.
Testing, testing, testing!
