QR code integration
|
Submitted |
The critter needs to be able to read QR codes and compartmentalize that information on the site in a useful way. The code for reading the QR codes is already available and it has already been tested on the critter cam.

Bump sensors
|
Submitted |
Physical bump sensors need to be designed, configured, and activated on each of the 4 sides of the critter to detect bumps and force the critter to immediately stop and prevent future movement in that direction.

IR proximity trigger sensors
|
Submitted |
In addition to the bump sensors, install several IR proximity sensors that will not measure distance but trigger if the critter is too close to a surface to prevent movement in that direction. The rangefinder will then no longer be used for collision detection and just mapping

Set up a bridged access point in or near the kitchen to give coverage of that part of the house where signal loss is common. Ensure that the critter can maintain a network connection while switching between access points as needed.

Gradual Acceleration
|
Approved |
When starting to move and stopping, make the accel/decel more
gradual rather than the abrupt start/stop that occur now.
