This week, our team made significant progress as we moved closer to the System Level Design Review (SLDR). We finished the draft of the SLDR report and presentation, summarizing our system architecture, prototype functionality, and overall design direction. With the core content prepared, we participated in the SLDR peer review, where we delivered a full presentation and demonstrated the current capabilities of our prototype. The feedback we received from peers was constructive and helped highlight areas for improvement before the formal review.
Alongside presentation work, the team continued developing supporting documentation, including the software design description, functional description, and interface specifications. We also finalized the manufacturing plan for large-scale hardware production and completed the outline for our electrical and mechanical testing procedures. These components will guide the next stage of development as we transition from early prototyping into more structured evaluation.
Looking ahead to the next week, our focus will shift to refining the SLDR presentation based on peer feedback. The team plans to restructure several slides to highlight device capability, project risks, and quality objectives while reducing text in favor of visuals and demonstrations. We will also begin practicing the presentation in person to finalize timing and ensure smooth transitions between sections.
Overall, the project remains on schedule, and the progress made this week has positioned us well for a strong showing at the upcoming SLDR.
