The biggest discussion was around Maria's User Interface prototype. We already have the most difficult part done, but the details are killing us. We took more than 2 hours of the meeting just discussion icons, way of operation and rearranging the screen. Let's see if until the weekend we can have a "closed" prototype we can start implementing on.
During this days, one of the advances we did was on the implementation of the algorithms to load, identify and recognize the faces on Julio video, with the locking mechanism that enables the autonomous flight.
Unfortunately our main obstacle during this days was not the programming and implementation of the algorithms for face recognition and identification, but identifying the flights distances and speeds continuous to be a very hard and time consuming task. This was so bad that on one of the autonomous tests flights Julio just made a crazy turn and went upside down against a lamp, braking it's protection hull.
