Mechatronic Systems Design
- Tune motors PIDs
- Verify arm kinematics and implement them
- Other software tasks that are not related to other projects: localization, control, ...
Control
- Verifying and reviewing analysis
- Deploying analysis on real hardware
Robotics
- Finishing analytical method (tweaking kinematics then moving on to jacobian and dynamics)
- Finishing toolbox method
  - Reviewing code
  - Making sure nothing is missing
  - Trying to use the rigid body tree from Simscape
  - Trying to visualize the robot
- Finishing simulink method
  - Re-modeling the arm in MATLAB Simscape
  - Making sure gripper can open/close
  - Completing trajectory planning
  - Verifying other blocks
Embedded systems
- No progress
Heat transfer
- Reviewing milestone one
- Submitting it and making sure nothing is wrong
- Planning next milestones

Deploying the control project on the car after verification
Deploying robot arm kinematics on the arm after verifying the analytical method for forward and inverse kinematics
Using PID design scripts for tuning the robot in the embedded systems project
Using MATLAB knowledge for modeling and designing the thermal circuit

Embedded
- 9am - 2pm slot for working on the project during working days
- git repo is needed for submission and MBED is used as a submodule
