| 125 | + Computer vision acts as the eyes of a robot, |
| 126 | + allowing it to perceive its surroundings and coordinate |
| 127 | + the data through integrated software and hardware to its other |
| 128 | + components. We have set up an NVIDIA Jetson as the primary |
| 129 | + computing platform for our project, this will allow us to |
| 130 | + leverage its GPU acceleration to run our own version of the |
| 131 | + YOLOV5 model for real-time object detection. We have been |
| 132 | + working on building a lot of OpenCV tools that will help us with |
| 133 | + preprocessing tasks such as image filtering, noise reduction, |
| 134 | + and edge detection. This will improve the quality of our input |
| 135 | + data for the model. Our plan is to tweak and further develop a |
| 136 | + custom trained YOLOV5 model by gathering our own data from real |
| 137 | + world data collection and testing within the real world. To |
| 138 | + gather this data we will be using stereo vision footage from our |
| 139 | + ZED 2i camera and preprocessing the data with OpenCV, then using |
| 140 | + the data to fine tune the model to account for water distortion, |
| 141 | + object occlusions, and lighting inconsistencies. By combining |
| 142 | + the Jetsons hardware acceleration, OpenCV's tools, and YOLOV5 |
| 143 | + object detection capabilities, we will deploy a highly efficient |
| 144 | + and robust visual processing system that will be capable of |
| 145 | + real-time inference within dynamic underwater scenarios. |
| 146 | + <br> |
| 147 | + Due to the surge in AI popularity, our progress on computer |
| 148 | + vision has faced significant delays as we struggled to acquire a |
| 149 | + Jetson Orin Nano, our preferred board for vision processing. In |
| 150 | + the meantime, we borrowed a Jetson Nano, but this introduced |
| 151 | + another challenge—the board officially supports only Ubuntu |
| 152 | + 18.04, while our ROS Humble software stack requires Ubuntu |
| 153 | + 22.04. One of our members has been working on upgrading the |
| 154 | + system and has successfully installed Ubuntu 20.04, bringing us |
| 155 | + a step closer to compatibility. |

| 165 | + With basic navigation implemented, our goals are set towards |
| 166 | + completing the computer vision and path planning systems. |
| 167 | + Computer Vision is absolutely necessary for localization, and is |
| 168 | + by far the most crucial component we are missing. The addition |
| 169 | + of path planning algorithms will allow for the creation of more |
| 170 | + complex paths that can minimize distance while avoiding |
| 171 | + obstacles in unmapped terrain. |

| 335 | + The Cabrillo Robotics Club recently participated in MESA Day |
| 336 | + at the University of California, Santa Cruz, an event that |
| 337 | + brought together over 250 middle and high school students |
| 338 | + from Santa Cruz and neighboring. Throughout the day, |
| 339 | + students engaged in hands-on activities and connected with |
| 340 | + industry professionals and STEM organizations, including our |
| 341 | + club. We showcased our SeaHawk II and LazerShark robots and |
| 342 | + led an interactive bristle bot activity in which students |
| 343 | + got to build and race simple bots. |
