Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Motors have been delivered
Assembly of arms is underway and expected to be completed later this week
Joint design is underway as well and will be finalized by Friday so that they can be constructed and implemented next week
Communication between computers and micro-controllers have been established. Coding for arm movements is being updated.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
3D print of laryngoscope handle has been completed, test handle fits with laryngoscope tip (yay!).
System kinematics and forces & torques defined.
Finalized the plan for the handle/attachment
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Alex and Eric: Put kinematics into code and start experimenting with haptic feedback
Jackie: CAD roll-joint and implement it
Daniel: CAD U-joint and implement it
