Meeting #4

Date: 03/03/2018

Time: 3:00pm (face to face)

Members present: Yatin Khanna, Jonghwa Chang, Taejas Malik, Jaspreet Sukhjitsingh

Topic Discussed: Lab 7 post lab and R&D oral presentation

Objectives:

-Today’s objective of the meeting was to discuss how to start on and develop R&D oral presentation

-Discuss how two advanced R&D topics were done in lab 7 and check if there is something to be added or modified.

Decisions:

-After doing two topics in lab 7, because It was proved that using servo function and ultrasonic sensor were not efficient to develop the AEV model, the team decided not to use servo function and ultrasonic sensor.

-The group decided to do R&D oral presentation by emphasizing on efficiency.

-Content of the presentation are divided into four parts as an Introduction, a first advanced R&D topic, a second advanced R&D topic, and a conclusion.

-Additional meeting will be held on this Wednesday to discuss the second progress report.

Reflections:

-Because of thinking about using sensors which are not given, it took longer time than the group had expected. Therefore, from next lab, it would be beneficial to preview and discuss following lab in advance.

-It was successful, when the AEV model went on the track, that using gear mechanism instead of pulley system.

-No conflicts or other unexpected expectations in last lab.
