Organisation of experiments for demonstrating the complete integration of Navigation Modules+Bimanual Grasping+Walking

[vigisushrutha23]

This issue is to track the organization of the experiments on ErgoCub for demoing the complete integration of walking+grasping+navigation planning. During the first full experiments of the navigation module it was found that doing any form of side-stepping and human avoidance in narrow corridors will be difficult with the crane in the lab due to which we will require an overhead crane for much more safer experimentation. For that we have two options depending on the availability and logistics. The first is we could ask the HHCM (Nikos'group) the permission to use their overhead crane. The second is to go to the lab in BIC to do an experiment for one whole day.

For this I am listing the sub-tasks that need to be confirmed before the experiments can be done.

For performing experiments in 2nd foor

• [ ] Ask Nikos' permission and confirm schedule to use the lab in 2nd floor CRIS.
• [ ] Confirm with AMI and other people working for ICRA if the robot can be used for a day on the 2nd floor.
• [ ] Learn the best way to transfer power units and set up computer in the 2nd floor lab.
• [ ] Do mapping of the lab on the second floor using turtlebot to generate base map

For performing experiments in BIC

• [ ] Obtain permission to do the experiments in the lab.
• [ ] Find two days after discussions with AMI when the robot can be shipped to the lab.
• [ ] Confirm with icub-tech technicians for their availability to perform experiments in the lab
• [ ] First day to be used for mapping the lab using turtlebot and calibration.
