The first milestone was to assemble the robot. I chose the RoboPhilo because it seemed to have more lifelike motions as well as being more customizable. I planned on finishing the assembly in the fourth week, but when I received the robot, the rough calibration was not done properly. Upon further inspection, I realized I would have to disassemble and reassemble the robot in order to do the rough calibrations. I did this by following the manual backwards to disassemble it and forward to reassemble and calibrate it. By the end of week 4 I had initially planned to be doing the fine tuning and calibration, but as the week closed I had only just finished the rough calibration and assembly. In addition to working on the robot, I prepared my notes for the Project Proposal Presentation.

Included below is a link to the instruction manual, which was followed for this week as well as the notes for my project proposal.
