Validation of our spring model. This will be conducted by experiments.
### Deliverables:
Plots showing matches between our optimized stiffness value and our experimental results.
### Tasks:
1. Purchase machines that are necessary to compete the experiments
2. Design and fabricate test setups.
3. Fabricate samples.
4. Conduct experiments: compressions tests on circular sample, bending tests on rectangular samples.
## Week: 10/08/2020 part 1
### Goals:
Finalize robotic implementations to show our corrugated design is better than regular wheels.
### Deliverables:
Videos and figures showing demonstrations.
With the same amount of force loaded on the foldable cars, the car with corrugated wheels should still be functioning after compression, while the one with regular wheels breaks down (on the wheels).
### Tasks:
1. Design and fabricate test setups.
2. Fabricate and build foldable cars.
3. Run demonstration on the Manuel Material Tester. Record loading.
4. Figure editing, for presentation in the paper.
## Week: 10/8/2020 part 2
### Goals:
Finalize revised paper. Ready to send to group for suggestions.
### Deliverables:
A revised paper for group suggestions.
### Tasks:
1. Address SCF reviewers comments.
2. Shorten the paper to satisfy ICRA's 6 page limit requirement.
3. Re-organizing Case Study section.
4. Demo video editing. Combine all demos into one video, with title page.
## Week: 10/15/2020
### Goals:
Submission to ICRA2021 with R-AL option.
### Deliverables:
1. A final paper.
2. A submission to R-AL.
### Tasks:
1. Finish up the paper, with all suggestions addressed.
