R01<\/td>Perception System Underperformance<\/td>Technical<\/td>L2 \u00d7 C5 \u2192 L3 \u00d7 C4<\/td>
  • Already have perception pipeline working for SVD so less likely to fail<\/li>
  • Collect diverse data varying lighting and shadow conditions<\/li>
  • Anomaly detection pipeline causes occasional false positives with high processing time.<\/li>
  • Change the core architecture to fit into lab scenarios.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr>
R02<\/td>End-Effector Breakage<\/td>Technical; Schedule<\/td>L5 \u00d7 C1 \u2192 L4 \u00d7 C1<\/td>
  • We have a metal + 3d printed mechanism to make sure it\u2019s easily replaceable when broken<\/li>
  • Likelihood reduced because metal+3d gripper proved robust.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr>
R04<\/td>Hardware Damage<\/td>Technical; Schedule<\/td>L4 \u00d7 C5 (no change)<\/td>

R05<\/td>Budget Overruns<\/td>Budget<\/td>L3 \u00d7 C2 (no change)<\/td>

R07<\/td>Integration Issues<\/td>Technical; Schedule<\/td>L3 \u00d7 C3 \u2192 L4 \u00d7 C4<\/td>
  • Unforeseen faults only emerge in end-to-end runs.<\/li>
  • Enforce strict version control (Git).<\/li>
  • Run frequent CI-style integration tests across subsystems.<\/li>
  • Run weekly integrated tests and freeze validated fallbacks prior to FVD.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr>
R09<\/td>Reduced Personnel<\/td>Schedule<\/td>L4 \u00d7 C3 (no change)<\/td>

R10<\/td>Navigation Error<\/td>Technical<\/td>New: L2 \u00d7 C3<\/td>
  • Base stopping off-position can leave the target out of the arm\u2019s reach.<\/li>
  • Measured all relative base positions from which planning works and ensured the max navigation error is less than this range.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr>
R11<\/td>False Verdict<\/td>Technical<\/td>New: L3 \u00d7 C5<\/td>
  • Testing the pipeline on multiple videos and change the architecture as per false verdicts<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n
