Week 1:

We met during the working hours Tuesday morning and decided on the use case and robot. We decided to do the Miro robot and use it with walking in mind. We divided tasks and set a possible timeslot to look at and do the first test with the robot. I decided to keep track of the tasks in the timetable.

Week 2:

We divided the tasks in the second week and talked about the use cases of the robot. Doreen made a state diagram of what had to be implemented
In the lab, we were able to upload the first basic program to the robot and were able to look at the robot. 

Week 3:

We divided tasks Tuesday morning.
We met in the lab and we got some code working on the robot. We noticed that the MiRocloud was too limited to do whatever we wanted to implement. While making programs, we also noticed that we could only do one specific task at a time.

Week 4:

The presentation would be next week. We decided that Rohan, Jeffrey, and I would take on the presentation. During the creation of the presentation, Rohan and I mainly worked on the presentation while Jeffrey was in the room working on the use cases and was able to give an opinion on certain slides if necessary. Afterward, Rohan and I both worked a bit on the evaluation separately. 

Week 5:

Rohan and I practiced for the presentation and Jeffrey, Rohan and I presented the presentation. We met on Wednesday morning to work together and make some decisions on the final prototype.

Week 6:

A list with all to-do items has been created by Tim, we divided all of the items to work on independently. On Wednesday an evaluation has been done with a Hard of hearing person. The setup for the evaluation has also been created.

Week 7:

We worked individually on the to-do items that we have divided among ourselves. On Wednesday we performed the big user test where the roles were all divided. When the user test was done, we went home and worked on tasks individually. I performed a Wilcoxon test on the user data in addition to the other tasks of the todo section. 

Week 8:

Due to COVID, I, unfortunately, could not attend the presentations. The team and I met online in two different sessions. We made a big to-do list with items that still needed to be done. I took some tasks on me and worked on those tasks over the week. 

Week 9:

We worked individually on the parts of the report and we met on Tuesday to ensure that the report was finished. I merged all the pages.

Project Reflection:

During the project, we mainly checked tasks for the previous week on Tuesday and we filled in the Timetable. In that same lab session, we divided the tasks for the next week. The next day, on Wednesday we met and worked in the Insyght lab on the robot and other tasks. Afterward, everyone worked at home on the individual tasks until we would discuss them again in the next week. I liked working on this project a lot. It was very nice to immediately put the knowledge gained in the lectures to work. A scheduled lab slot to work on the robots would have been nice as it proved to be quite difficult in planning a slot where everyone was available. Especially because the group size was a bit big.
