Week 9 Supervisor Meeting

This week, Dr. Judhi advised me to visit the billiards room to collect real shot data by playing a game of billiards and storing all recorded values for analysis. I was able to gather data from my own shots as well as those taken by my friends, providing a varied dataset. After visually plotting the results, Dr. Judhi was pleased to see that the data was structured well enough for further analysis. On the development front, I worked on creating the app’s dashboard, designed to display plotted shot data retrieved from the Firebase storage database. I also implemented a chatbot to offer personalized training recommendations based on recorded shots. While the profile page and the information section explaining the data visualizations and tutorial remained placeholders due to my competition submissions this week, I showcased the remaining progress to Dr. Judhi. He suggested integrating shot feedback directly into the dashboard for a better user experience, which I plan to implement next week along with the remaining application pages.

Aside from the project, some of my meetings this week with Dr. Judhi focused on competition submission guidance. One notable submission was for the TAFU-BCS Award, where my team, consisting of Afrin, Anushka, and I, submitted our research project, RoboBees, which aims to revolutionize bee conservation and improve pollination lands. Dr. Judhi and Dr. Engie mentored us, providing valuable feedback that we incorporated into our final submission, which we are truly thankful for. Additionally, we adapted the project into a research paper for the Abu Dhabi Research Competition, where Dr. Judhi helped refine and strengthen our research further. I also submitted iCue under the Innovation category for the same Research Competition, as I aim to develop it into a marketable product in the future. Dr. Judhi encouraged me to apply and provided insightful suggestions to refine my pitch deck and documents for the submission. Towards the end of the week, we also went to our trials for the Emirates Robotics Competition, where Dr. Judhi was our group's mentor. He guided us throughout our project over the past few months and continues to guide us as we approach our competetion date in the next few weeks.
