Sprints

Sprint 1 (August 7th to August 15th)

Sprint planning meeting August 7th

Kjeld said the first parts we should be concerned about was points 1,2,3,4 and 7.

Sprint backlog

1. As a robot owner I want a platform design optimized for robust, accurate and fast driving in row crops under the conditions described here. The platform design must support either trailed or carried implements for eg. crop scouting or weeding.
2. As a robot owner I want a drive train design optimized for robust driving under the conditions described here.
3. As a robot owner I want an energy source capable of delivering enough power for continuous driving in at least 15 minutes.
4. As a robot owner I want one or more fuses protecting the robot electronics.

7. As a robot owner I want a robot computer for the platform supporting WIFI communication for remote monitoring and management.

Sprint review meeting and retrospective August 15th

Generally good work. We need to remember to bring everything we done (calculations etc) to the meetings

Sprint 2 (August 15th to August 22th)

Sprint backlog

5. As a robot owner I want a prototype of the designed platform.
6. As a robot owner I want a prototype of the designed drive train.
8. As a robot owner I want an in-row positioning system capable of determining the robot position and orientation with respect to the crop rows.
9. As a robot owner I want a navigation system capable of navigating in-row based on the in-row positioning system.
(8/9a.) Get the navigation system to control the robot.
13. As a robot owner I want the robot to be operational on wet soil/grass.
14. As a robot owner I want the robot to be operational during sunny and rainy conditions including rapid variations.
15. As a robot operator I want an emergency stop button which cuts the supply power to all actuators on the robot.
16. As a robot operator I want a start button which activates autonomous navigation in a row crop field.
17. As a robot operator I want visual or audio confirmation on the current mode or state of the robot.

Sprint 3 (August 22th to August 29th)

Sprint backlog

8. As a robot owner I want an in-row positioning system capable of determining the robot position and orientation with respect to the crop rows.
9. As a robot owner I want a navigation system capable of navigating in-row based on the in-row positioning system.
(8/9a.) Get the navigation system to control the robot.
10. As a robot owner I want a headland positioning system capable of detecting ends and beginning of crop rows.
11. As a robot owner I want a navigation system capable of making headland turns based on the headland positioning system.
12. As a robot owner I want a state system capable of switching between in-row and headland navigation, and stop mode based on navigation sensors and user input.
17. As a robot operator I want visual or audio confirmation on the current mode or state of the robot.
18. As a robot owner I want a carried or trailed implement capable of detecting a marker (marker type freely defined by the development team) placed in a crop row along the path.
19. As a robot owner I want the robot to perform a creative behavior (freely defined by the development team) to allow participating in the FieldRobotEvent freestyle task.
