All software has been installed on a computer Eli* from NI. His
latest email indicates academic license may be an issue. Limit at
getting SolidWorks and Labview working together set to 2 weeks, or
switch to a different software package. *Eli Seidner Applications

WeekPlanContingency 1 Start building test stand Work on getting
simulation working If simulation isn't working by Friday, look for
alternatives 2 Get simulation working If simulation isn't working
by Friday, use a different program Make a few air muscles Buy
controls stuff 3 Make a control system to test muscles Test
relaysIf parts haven't arrived, refine model Run through demos If a
alternative simulation program is being used, attempt demo 4 Make
list of joints to test Complete test plan Work on simulation 5
Demonstrate simulation with displacementIf not done, work on
simulation Working air muscles for 1 jointDebug controls
Slide 17
6 Get forces working for simulation (I) Characterize more air
muscles (I) 7 Get forces working for simulation (II) Find math
models Find how to apply math 8 Develop math more Characterize more
air muscles (II) 9 Apply math model to simulation If model is too
complicated, use a simpler approximation 10 Calibrate forces in
simulation 11 Demonstrate working simulation of air muscles Show
test stand Prove math model
Slide 18
Primary Deliverables Computer simulation of common joints.
Prototype that demonstrate accuracy of the simulation. Sub
Deliverables Week 2: A test stand. Week 3: A working simulation
software. Week 5: A simulated joint without accurate forces. Week
7: Simulated forces in simulation. Week 10: Working, accurate
computer model.

For the next two weeks: Continue emailing and calling Eli S.
(Casey and A.J.) Design the test stand (Casey and Andrew) Create a
preliminary control system for the test stand (A.J.)
