Good news here !
Now that hardware is fixed, we're progressing a lot on the software side and we now have to deal with "the last 20% of the features".
More good news is that our troubleshooting stack is up and running so now what we need is to be pragmatic.
The current challenge is to deal with the sun: a nice summer challenge 😀
The idea is simple: we have a stereo camera to get obstacle distances, but of course, when the sun is shining we run into difficulties getting relevant depth: ghost obstacles.
So yes this week is all about dealing with this, minimizing the impact of sun on the autonomous behaviors.
PS: Here's a short video of yesterday, 2 iXis moving freely on the golf course
