On February 3rd, the group had the next meeting to discuss the research that was done on the ViBRA. After going over the website updated, Professor Ejaz had some critiques and comments to be taken into account. The first portion of critique revolved around the application and environment that was robotic arm will be used in, which was not discussed much in the introduction. A specific environment needs to be decided to that further specifications and limitations can be applied. The group originally discussed that 10-20lbs would be the weight limit that the robotic arm will be able to pick up, after further discussion, it was decided that the limit would need to decrease drastically due to motor size, efficiency, and price.
Another point that was discussed in this meeting was about the engineering requirements which were too vague and did not convey the purpose of the project as needed. The similar projects that were researched were good ideas, but they did not revolved around the robot mimicking the user's actions using a sense of vision.
The group was assigned the tasks of updating the introduction (weight limit, application, environment), update the block diagram which would then provide a base for the engineering specifications, and to return with different similar projects that centers around the act of mimicking the user.
