Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Met with sponsor for kickoff meeting.
Problem definition & prioritization of objectives.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Mapped out project scope.
Gantt chart.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Pugh chart for hardware testing of methods of locomotion.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Priorities: comfort, transition from standing to sitting, ease of loading.
"Fail first and fail often" - prototype with hardware early on to avoid last-minute, high-pressure design decisions.
First task: prototype adjustable frame.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Show AND list: limitations of previous 156 model, purchased model, competitor models.
Include videos:
Bodie walking when back is supported.
Difficulty transitioning to standing.
Limitations.
Complete more “discovery” in double-diamond design process.
Focus on: prototype, iterating
to flush out kinks that may occur for day-to-day use.
user testing!
Presentation: clear, details and justifications for design decisions - make audience care
Focus the presentation for viewers.
Future deliverables: small-scale, physical locomotion prototypes (2-wheel, 4-wheel, swivel…) & how these tie into the transition prototypes (difficult with 4-wheel).
