With PID looming one week away, the Road Watch team has been rapidly working on getting every part of the system working. Fortunately, we have some good progress to report. First, we successfully developed our external shell, and fabricated the internal spacers. Next, our research concluded that a LSTM (Long-Term Short-Term) network would not be a viable approach for vehicle position prediction (that’s a shame, but discovering such things is important). However, some initial testing indicated that the YOLOv8 model could be run successfully on the Jetson Nano, which is a critical state in our camera vision pipeline. Finally, we successfully assembled a second revision of the Detection PCB and a first revision of the Alert PCB (pictured below). Come back next week for more progress.
