Right now it&#8217;s a solution without a problem. It&#8217;s a cool tool, but we haven&#8217;t nailed the market it would be best suited for. I think mechanical engineers and hackers would make good early adopters, we could sell it as a way to quickly measure a physical object and turn it into CAD. But there might be other industries with bigger budgets- hospitals tracking tools in an operating room to reduce malpractice costs, or perhaps tracking drones as they come in to land and recharge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Karthik (K.P.):<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Agricultural settings?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>docking payloads\/equipments and towing them to the farmland<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>D.B.<\/strong><\/em>: require skilled driver to dock, big business in U.S. along, it could mitigate the skill requirements for the operators<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>David Bourne (D.B.):<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>from business -&gt; not assume planetary setting<\/p>\n<p>Towing scenario<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PA highway (turn pipe, no U-turn, very rigid road, disaster when some cars get stuck)<\/li>\n<li>AAA: human-driven \u00a0(out of gas, flat tire) \/ get off on a road, speeds are high, dangerous for human operators, if the stuck car does not get off the highway to the shoulder<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>driverless trucks docking<\/p>\n<p>robotic assembly\/mating (using the very similar tech. in docking), people still have no good solutions for this<\/p>\n<p>instruction, manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>all about mating and putting two things together are the same problem for docking, and these ideas can be applied to the entire world across a variety of different areas<\/p>\n<p>MVP:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>much simpler than the project<\/li>\n<li>doing sth. very specific and introduce values to the users<\/li>\n<li>people can buy it and address some problems in some domains<\/li>\n<li>e.g. autonomous docking technology: in may domains, e.g. making a small box that can have built-in software inside and generally solve the autonomous docking for different vehicles, driverless cars, warehouse unmanned vehicles, etc.<\/li>\n<li>make a very small piece (very initial MVP), and then grow the small piece and find the roadmap<\/li>\n<li><strong>considering the project as a pool of IPs and see how to apply the IPs to different domains<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>find a focused market first, and be open to different market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan (D.A.): Regardless here&#8217;s the draft I started after class last week.\u00a0This draft is mixed between autonomous docking, and the much simpler [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meeting-notes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":537,"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530\/revisions\/537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrsdprojects.ri.cmu.edu\/2017teami\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
