Welcome to the team Electric Eye blog post for the week of 2/14! The day we are posting this is Valentine’s Day, and during this week the IPPD program gave us the regular class period to spend time working on our project to show their care for us! With that time we got to work on some small fixes that have helped to get the entire project integrated together!
New Developments
With all the bit of extra time the team had available this week, we got to finalize our full device integration and made some great developments as individual teams. A major milestone we’ve been working towards through this semester has been complete integration of each parts; we defined this as getting each piece of our project running locally on our hardware. This week, we’ve managed to get all of this working together. This is an encouraging moment for the team that is propelling us forward! Beyond reaching this mark, the separate teams have each made progress that we would like to note:
- Hardware: Our hardware team got a local model running (which helped us reach our goal of device integration). They have also began some testing, benchmarking temperature and power.
- AI/ML: The AI team has been training successfully on the University of Florida’s HiPerGator computer, and have managed to export that model to be ran locally.
- UX/UI: An on-going goal for the UI team is to display information from our hardware and AI to the user. This week they’ve been able to gather information from the model on the hazards its detected and display them to the user.
Thank you for reading this week’s blog from team Electric Eye, we’ll have plenty more to update with next week! From the entirety of Electric Eye, we hope you have a great Valentine’s Day!
