Team

Kaleab: EECS student with basic experience from working with robots as a hobbyist and in school clubs but no prior classes, mostly a software background.

Rafael: ME student who is new to robotics and vision but excited about the field, mostly ME background like CAD modeling, FEA and CFD simulations, also had some experience in VR development.

Jayant: ME Student with basic experience in developing robots and a blend of mechanical and software background.

Younes: ME student with some basic experience with robots on the software side. Competency in CAD and in all fields of mechanics.

Contributions

Kaleab: Worked on every major aspect of the project, created path planning setup, worked on designing, building, and improving all aspects of vision, did the full pipeline integration, planned and worked on each project step, designed and implemented bug fixes and quality of life updates (controller tuning, safer drops, orientation change, camera/robot fault tolerance, etc...).

Rafael: Worked on the setup and training of the YOLO object detection, transformation from camera frame to sawyer base frame, multi node communication, and website design. Helped with controller tuning, project deliverables, and idea generation. Advised the the conversion of 2D to 3D spatial coordinates, path planning, orientation change, and robot fault tolerance.

Jayant: Worked on the setup and training of the YOLO object detection. Helped with the transformation from camera frame to sawyer base frame and the conversion of 2D to 3D spatial coordinates. Advised the camera fault tolerance.

Younes: Worked on the conversion of 2D to 3D spatial coordinates and designed new grippers. Advised controller tuning.
