Welcome to team Electric Eye’s blog post for the week of 2/7! This is our first blog post of February, which means we are moving into the second month of our semester. Last month, the team met many of its goals and made some good early progress. This month, we continue development with new goals to meet and challenges to face. We’ve had a productive week here and are excited to give a few updates on our work!
Work Done So Far
In this last month of development, our team had a few important goals that we felt would set us on the right track for the rest of our development. The progress we’ve made so far:
- Set-up the hardware: this included establishing proper cooling and power supply, and getting the proper parts in and running on Raspberry Pi.
- Began model training: get our AI model trained on data that we currently have available, and label new data for later training.
- Established a camera feed and basic navigation for our UI.
- Integrated the different parts of our project together!
We are happy with the developments made so far and are excited to continue working past this. Plenty of constructive criticism and advice have come our way and the team has used that push us forward, so e thank all those who have helped so far in moving us in the right direction!
What’s Next
Last semester, the team created a time-line that detailed where we wanted to be in at each month, and what we wanted to accomplish during that time (Below is an updated time-line made at the beginning of this semester). For the month of January, we had met our goals and even exceeded them in some areas. In February, we hope to have our hardware fully functioning, our AI model detecting multiple of our key hazards, and for the UI to be just about finished and ready for testing. We are excited for this next period of work and can’t wait to show more you soon!
