IMACS

@Vibhinn Gautam

  • Working on reviewing PRs from last term - should be done within a week.
    - Seems like RTL button has been merged.
    - UI to change ports/connection also seems nearly complete.

  • I see some tasks on Asana are labeled as ‘in progress’ - who is working on them?

  • Will start assigning tasks from next week onwards as it seems like a lot of tasks are waiting on other subtasks.

Obstacle Avoidance

@Vyomm Khanna

  • Dug through the OA Repo, reached out to @Andrew Shumto finalise some stuff

  • Good amount of OA Documentation is ready!

  • Need to setup a sync with @Tong Zhang to discuss 1) how we should optimise OA further, 2) Schedule ground and flight tests 3) possibility of drone transmitting a constantly updating 2D FoV of nearby obstacles to ground station during flight (Could also double up as an in-flight aid during manual flight).
