Project Metadata

Project Name: Sensor Placement

Project Manager: Rowan Dempster

Project Start: September 29th, 2019

Abstract: We need sensors to perceive our environment. In the past we have put sensor in dumb places. For Year 3, let’s put sensors in smart places.

Stakeholder Management

Project Stakeholders

Perception Group - Anita Hu

1. The customer. Perception defines the requirements for the Sensor Placement, under the constraints defined by the other groups.

Radar Driver Group - Steven Tuer

1. Responsible for getting the Radar’s working and providing insight into ideal placements.

Sensor Mounting Group - Edmond Lu

1. Defines the mechanical constraints of Sensor Placement and execute the physical placement.

\

• Compute Rack Group - Hossein Pishyar

\

1. Responsible for locations on the electrical equipment. Power Systems suggests where Compute Rack should put it, Power Systems have given them suggestions and Compute Rack are incorporating that in there design.

Power Systems Group - Mitchell Hoyt

1. Defines the electrical constraints of Sensor Placement and executes the power supply.

Sensor Interfacing Group - Joon Lee

1. Confirms that the selected Sensor Suite is compatible with our software setup.

Project Sponsors

Team Captain - Rowan Dempster

1. Program Coordinator

Finance Group - Anna Li

1. Provides funding for the Sensor Suite

Internal Sponsorship Group - Muhammad Ibrahim

1. Provides funding for the Sensor Suite

\

• External Sponsorship Group - Alex D’Alton

\

1. Provides funding for the Sensor Suite

GM Advisor - Kevin Cochran

1. Provides industry knowledge

Project Communication Plan

Stakeholder Communication Plan

Discord Communication Protocol

All communications that concern more than one of the project Stakeholders will be conducted in the #sensor-placement-project channel.

Sponsor Communication Plan

Team Captains

Team Captains will be communicated with by tagging \@Team Captain or \@Rowan Dempster in #sensor-placement-project.

GM Advisor

Kevin Cochran is easiest to reach via his GM email: kevin.cochran\@gm.com

All email communications will be copied and pasted into the #sensor-placement-project channel.

Knowledge Capture Plan

There are 5 main areas of knowledge that we have identified and need to capture

Sensor Placement Diagram

What sensors are placed where, what FOVs do they have, etc..

This will be in the Sensor Suite Information Phab Doc here: https://phabricator.watonomous.ca/w/software/perception/sensor_suite/

Sensor coverage requirements: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IzwtBa0BTdEbN9_w2F2GdZo5B7jKjVob0CgzB1c251M/edit

Sensor placement diagram: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1WRBOHXjAdWgU67LLBY31RvXCNh4xGXo5634segdt3fg/edit

Mechanical Designs

All design specifications will be documented in the following GrabCAD Folder:

This applies to the Compute Rack Designs and the Sensor Mount designs.

Electrical Circuitry Design

Sensor Suite Hardware Documentation

Specifications of the final hardware used in our sensor suite that is decided on will be documented on the following Phab document: https://phabricator.watonomous.ca/w/software/perception/camera_calibration/sensor_suite/

Sensor Suite Software Calibration 

We need to come up with a plan for how to capture the extrinsic calibrations between the sensors in our sensor suite.
