This week, the team went to work on completing separate parts of our project. Since we’ve been able to integrate all aspects of the project together, the sub-teams have been developing their separate features. Here’s what each sub-team has been able to accomplish this week:

• The Hardware team has been focused on a few goals: modeling the casing of our device, getting a touch screen running, and refining our local use of AI. This week, the team completed the casing of our device, and our next step is to print it! We also received our touchscreen this week and have began the process of integrating that into our device. On refining our AI usage, a risk that the team recognized moving into our development is popping up. A lack of experience working with this technology is causing some difficulties, but we’ll continue to work on this!
• AI/ML has been steadily training our model through UF’s HiPerGator! A big problem the AI team has ran into is getting properly labeled data, so they’ve began work labeling via CVAT (Computer Vision Annotation Tool), and have also employed the help of other teams to help speed up this process.
• UX/UI has been working on features of our interface with the primary goal being to have the UI completed by the end of March. This week, they managed to get images saved with the hazard’s specific annotation for use in hazard reports.

Our has the normal lecture period next for project development, and our team plans to work on getting every part of the project together on our device to prepare for some aggregate testing! With a trip to FPL headquarters upcoming, we want to ensure that our device is fully prepared!

Thank you for reading this week’s blog post from team Electric Eye. We can’t wait to show you more of what we’re doing very soon!
