Spring 2020 Schedule
Updated Risk Management Strategy
Risk ID | Risk Description | Type | Mitigation | Likelihood | Consequence | Req. |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
R1 | Integration issues between subsystems | Technical/ Schedule | Integrate subsystems continually and test each subsystem before integrating | 5 | 5 | All |
R2 | Inability to access robot and sensors in the lab due to COVID-19 | Technical/ Schedule | Continue the development of the system in a customized simulation environment | 5 | 5 | All |
R3 | Low robustness of tracking | Technical | Develop a simple prediction model based on past dat | 3 | 2 | M.P.6 |
R4 | Complexity in turning 3D point cloud to searchable surface | Technical | Make a head start on this task or opt for a simple \& efficient geometric model | 3 | 5 | M.P.7 |
R5 | Fail to palpate liver due to challenges in using force sensor | Technical | Do palpation in simulation based on CAD model of liver and simulated force readings | 4 | 4 | M.P.7, M.P.8 |
R6 | Fail to implement motion compensation in scanning code | Technical | Revert to static organ assumption | 4 | 5 | M.P.5 |
R7 | Fail to implement motion compensation in palpation code | Technical | Revert to static organ assumption | 4 | 5 | M.P.7, M.P.8 |
R8 | PSM2 of dVRK cannot be fixed in the Fall | Technical/ Schedule | Use PSM1 for both scanning and palpation; detach Blaser from PSM1 after scanning liver and mount force sensor on the same arm to palpate liver | 4 | 2 | M.P.9 |
R9 | Difficulty in registering RealSense & robot coordinate frames | Technical | Continue to use the Lab's stereo camera but modify liver motion tracking pipeline | 3 | 4 | M.P.4, M.P.6 |
R10 | Malfunctioning of Blaser sensor | Technical | If attempts to fix the Blaser fail, buy a miniature off-the-shelf laser scanner | 2 | 5 | M.P.3, M.P.5 |
R11 | MSP breaks / servo motors that actuate MSP are damaged | Technical | Handle MSP with care & buy servo motor spares for emergencies | 2 | 3 | M.P.6 |
R12 | Search and Palpation development postponed due to Sensor Simulation Development | Schedule | Develop the simulation during summer break | 2 | 3 | M.P.7, M.P.8 |
