Viewed past students' journal report. Reviewed previously done summary of literature review. Started by writing section 2 : "Related Works".

Attempt to resolve issues with calibrating the camera with the robot. Decided to proceed step by step:

1. Calibrate robot arm with camera using 5 points on the checkerboard.

2. Perform transformation matrix

3. Run program to move the end effector of the robot arm to the location of the object after user has selected which object.


It was then discovered that the issues were caused by the parameters - the distance sent to the robot was incorrect, for eg. x = 143.22 instead of x = 0.14322.

For some unknown reason, the z value also needed an additional 0.400 added to it.



Though the end effector did not touch the said object, it was close enough. The inaccuracy could be caused by the bounding box and further refinement is needed. As of now, the opening and closing of the gripper is not included in the codes.

Discovered new issue - the end effector keeps on going to the same position regardless of which object is selected. Attempting to resolve issue.
