• Team building
• Discussed project
• Decided on project

The second week for our team was full of brainstorming and discussion. The main topics of debate were the operating environment of our robot and possible layout and visions about design. The team decided in unison to choose common urban space (squares, markets, etc.).

In the third week, the team had the opportunity to participate in a Design Thinking workshop. The team also, continued working on the report, improving chapter 3 and starting on chapter 5 and 6. The component list is also, updated.

In the fourth week, team2 continued working on the report. The team concluded the black box diagram and the Sprint plan. Also, calculations are made to improve the design of the MopBot. Furthermore, an improvement is made on the 3D model in SolidWorks. A meeting with Manuel has taken place to consider some technical issues. Portugal government, declared that all Univerisities and Polytechnics need to close due to Coronavirus, so from now on the team can only meet via video calls.

During this week, the team continued working on the report, namely on Managment, Marketing and Sustainability chapters were updadted.

In this week the team managed to finish some important tasks, such as the State of the Art, the Leaflet and the Flyer.

On this week the team finally found a slogan that all members liked. The structural 3D draw was also finished, although some details need to change. The list of materials and components was uploaded.

During this week the team start to prepare to the Interim Presentation. The marketing chapter and the components list were updated. The team also had a presentation about Luanda Leaks, for the ethics module.

The packaging solution is almost done and will be finished before the 13th of May. This will be the main task for the upcoming weeks since a deadline is coming up. Furthermore, Team2 will continue working on the simulation and overleaf.

The packaging solution, that taken into account the total weight of the robot, was concluded and uploaded. During this week, the team continues working on the simulations and began to work on the Overleaf paper.

The Overleaf paper is almost finished, it´s just missing some details regardind the simulations that are progressing and hopefully will be finished by 2 of June.

2. Modus operandi
3. Project proposals
4. Electronic logbook (Wiki)

During the meeting we acknowledged all of the requirements stated by the EPS leaders. The main topic of the meeting was to present the list of topics to the EPS teams. After the meeting our team brainstormed to select the subject of the project. The three main topics which we discussed and sent as preferred ones were:

1. Trash Robot (modified version of Dog Litter Pickup Robot)
   
2. Indoor Blimp
   
3. Foldable Disaster Shelter
   

Lucky for us, we obtained the Trash Robot as a topic of our project.

During the meeting the whole team was present.

1. Welcome
2. Introduction to our idea
3. Potential problems (project)
4. Common goal
5. Closing

During second meeting initial ideas about the trash robot were shared with Supervisors. Main problems adress enviroment in which robot will be operating and also litters that are going to be collected. Following Supervisors' advices and guidances team decided to consider one more time destination of the robot.

During the meeting the whole team was present.
