Standup Documentation

This file contains each team member's individual contributions for our biweekly standup meetings.

Standup 2: November 2, 2023

Jenna:

• Created design for input file to our system
  • Added this documentation to the USER_GUIDE.md
• Began working on the code that will process the input file
• Created this file for standup documentation

Yili:

• Modify and specify the overall class diagram
  • Reduce coupling
• Began working on several pseudo code
  • Room
  • RMS
  • UI
• If possible having working units for classes mentioned above

Thando:

• Designed a detailed sequence diagram to show how the datalog is updated based on the occurance of important events like:
  • success and failure of robots
  • Requests from the BM
  • When robot finishes its task

Tony:

• come up with a mouse clicking simulation of robot cleanning
• Add more Robot's attributes in Robot class digram
• Write Code to similuate the probability of robot failure

Standup 3: November 16, 2023

Jenna:

• Continued to work on linking the yaml-cpp library
  • Still getting the 'file not found' error, even when linking running CMake
• Brainstorming alternate input ideas but planning to go to office hours for help

Thando:

• Created the first version of the room class
  • This was seperated into header, cpp and main files but I might have to remove the header file.
  • This version allows the user to input the rooms and sizes manually instead of using the yaml files
  • This version does not take room dimenstions. It takes small, medium, and large as room size.

Tony:

• Working on the function that updates the location of the Robot and the moving flow of Robot
• Working on the data log file
• Working on the simulation of the robot cleaning process

Yili:

• Improvements on Previous Code Base:
  • Restructure Robot Class and RMS Class
    • Merge RMS.h and RMS.cpp
    • Create sub classes of Robot Class: Mop, Vacuum, Sweeper
  • Implement Unique_ptr for RMS Class
• What's New:
  • Begin Design for UI Work Code and Part of the Simulation
    • UI: Successfully take in inputs
    • Simulation: Hard Code Inputs to test Outputs
• What's Next:
  • Fetch and merge Location Class
  • Fetch and merge function that updates the location of the Robot

Standup 4: December 7, 2023

Jenna:

• Addressed Dr. Martin's comments from the last sprint
• Cleaned up some old files from the repo
• Started on Catch2 testing for the RMS class
  • addRoom and addRobot are completed - add getters to RMS.hpp help with testing
  • still need to test for some of the more complex functions

Thando:

• Built Catch2 testing files for room class.
  • might need to test for more complex functions
• Built Catch2 testing files for robot class.
  • might need to test for more complex functions
• Created the CMake Lists file for catch2 testing.
• Deleted some unnecessary files in the .cache file.
• I plan to start working on diagrams for the bonuses.

Yili:

• Improvements on Previous Code Base:
  • Reduce redundancy for Robot Class
    • Delete some unnecessary methods, such as clean()
  • Implement Unique_ptr for RMS Class

Tony:

• Help integrating log file and all help functions into the main

• Integrating the Visual Simulation into the whole project

• improve the data log output

• What's New:

  • Merge Room Class by Thando into RMS Class
  • Merge YAML input sections by Jenna into the simulation
  • Merge datalog output feature by Tony work for the simulation
  • Merge Probability methods by Tony into RMS Class work for the simulation

• What's Next:

  • Create methods to output CSV files for Tony's animation
  • Have coordinates algorithm work for the simulation
