Week 2: Parrot Animatronics… Parrotronix!

This week, our team finalized our branding… meet Parrotronix!

We also met with our coach, Kimberly Stubbs. She is a PhD candidate at the University of Florida, working on human-robot interaction and rehabilitative robotics with the Nonlinear Controls and Robotics group. She is also an IPPD alumni! We discussed the scope of our project, the needs of our sponsor, and created guidelines for efficient communication throughout the rest of our program.

Finally, our group made significant progress on our project’s documentation. We’ve created and filled out the beginning of some living documents, including our Scope of Work and Technical Design Specifications. We gained a deeper understanding of our customer’s needs, and developed a draft of our projects requirements, specifications, and success factors.

Did you know? Our team’s final branding also reflects the color scheme of Pinecrest Gardens!
