This week we had 3 “teamwork” sessions where we got to know each other. We had to introduce the members and define the rules, values, objectives, mission, and vision of our group. We also discussed the importance of teamwork and the biggest constraints we can encounter. On Thursday we had the presentation of the 20 projects and discussed them as a team to come up with 3 main projects.
Tasks done during our 2nd week:
Tasks done during our 3rd week:
Tasks done during our 4th week:
We focused on picking the final product and its basics of working, Black Box preparation, state of the art improvement. Our team started schematic drawings and structure concept. Members of the team prepared also marketing plan and application of eco-efficiency concept in our product.
The team is adding the final touches to the wiki page and filling every chapter with care. Our members have worked on the following:
Team members finished their report chapters including Introduction, Project Management, Marketing plan, Ethics and Project Development. Interim presentation according to teachers requirements was prepared. Our team arranged meetings to practice the presentation and make some required improvements. We started the research about the systems that can be implemented in our product instead of Arduino Uno system. Schematic drawings of the system were improved.
Team members improved some of the points of the report according to the teachers feedback. Conclusions for the components comparison was added. We compared Arduino Uno system with ESP32 that was suggested by the tutors. According to the change of the system, black box and PIN diagram were also changed. Some of us focused on the internal parts of the product (back-end system, battery, NFC module) and others on external elements and materials (pillar, polypropylene needed to build external elements of the scanner in order to put prices, quantities and dimensions of the elements to the list of the materials).
This week the team worked on the leaflet (two versions were proposed), we had a presentation of our project from a sustainability point of view, our objectives. We started to work on the introduction of paper. In parallel we finished correcting the list of materials and continued to improve the 3D modelling of the structure of our product and to make corrections on the report.
This week the team worked on the 3D video with internal parts. We changed the design and considered amounts of the materials according to the applied changes. We improved power table and list of the materials. We corrected report for the next week. We have also improved the introduction in the research paper by putting there the main problem that we consider in our project. In this week we made festival map and we focused on application functionalities and used case analysis.
Introduce here a brief report of the meeting.
Meeting took place on MS Teams platform (online meeting). Main purpose of the meeting was to get to know the projects and the way of working during the whole semester.
During the meeting we got to know:
- 20 topics of EPS project;
- as a group we need to choose TOP 3 projects;
- the topics need to be chosen till the end of the weekend;
- that there are many alternatives for dealing with the various projects (some of them were presented in the form of videos);
- that we should fill the general information about the group and report our every weekly on Wiki (Logbook).
1. Choice of leader (Bruno).
2. Ideas for the places where crowd orchestration can be used.
The suggestion of the tutors was to focus on following aspects while picking the proper place where the crowd orchestration would be most useful:
-does it have an impact with and without pandemic;
-sustainability - removing the use of paper;
-ethics - people don’t want to be followed and observed;
-marketing aspects - in the future to be discussed with the tutor Luis.
3. Our tasks for the following week:
-improving our table with ideas with aspects mentioned above;
-read the articles about crowd orchestration and note down the ideas based on the articles;
-picking the best place for crowd orchestration usage;
-change the goal of the project on wiki;
-fulfilling state of the art on wiki (at the end it should contain the table);
-defining the project backblog, global sprint plan, initial sprint plan, gantt chart (deadlines in planning section on wiki)

1. Discussion on our project ideas - examples of the devices (software + hardware): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MO2CIV-SNkWJjtBdUgrzwHiSpQSxQ2LgoSfFTaR3-h4/edit#gid=1791499583
2. Project Backlog, Global Sprint Plan, Initial Sprint Plan and Gantt Chart.
3. State of the art.
4. References.
5. Tasks to do during the following week.
Leader: Maja
1. Is it possible to use phone/ tablet for our project? Yes, we can suppose that everybody has a smartphone now.
Improve the idea table by looking for products, objects, ideas that already exist and identifying the main characteristics of each idea.
Create different columns:
- communication
- type of data collected
- type of sensor used
- type of input
- type of function user is offered
- price
- range of operation
2. - Complete the Global sprint plan with the 13 weeks
- Create the Gantt chart for ressources+ update the Gantt Chart
- Pay attention to deadlines (sate of the art and Marketing have to be finished before april to discuss which type of software, sytem we are going to set up)
3. Advice for the state of the art:
- Include 1 or 2 definitions of “crowd orchestration” into the “introduction” part
- Analyse and list in a table (can be the google sheet with or ideas) the features ( interactive or not, passive or active, context aware or not,…)
- Planner: it's okay, see with project Management teacher.
4. How to create a bibtext references with an unscientific PDF.
Use a model with:
- @gsma2016
- Author ( { { …} } ) (in the document or on the website)
- URL (in the link)
- title (in the document)
- urldate (in the middle of the link)
- year (document or link)
for example, here we want to creat a refnote for GSMA: [1]. We can add it inside a report part.
5.Tasks to do: the table (1), the Gantt Chart for ressources, choose which project we want to set up.

3: State of the art - statistics about the mobile phone users.
3: List of materials - internal elements.
4: List of materials - external elements, 3D printing.
4: Research paper (what is it about) and following deliverables (video, leaflet).
5: Project development - functionalities (what is it about, what should be included).
Conclusions and further tasks:
- The material which will be used is wood;
- Changes of the dimensions of the prototype;
- Possibility of painting the wood in white;
- Check the price of aluminium (https://www.polylanema.pt/)
- According to changing the material of prototype of the dimensions of the body to wooden one and receiving the components from Pedro, send to Benedita Malheiro the new user interface box dimensions to order plex;
- Think about the way how the device will stand on the ground, to make the device stable (f.e. put weight in the base; every angle should have an aluminium support; how thick the internal walls are);
- Put the angle brackets in the list of materials;
- Set the real price of the device (internal parts already on the list of the materials; real prices of aluminum and PLA and 3D printing need to be put on the list) and determine the sale price of the device;
- Packaging project;
- Continue writing research paper (project development, state of the art, methods etc.);
- Festival map: if the scanners are placed in pairs (back to back) how many scanners will be placed on the zone borders.
We need to think about the solution for implementing any map of the festival in our application to make it universal for different events in various locations. There should be prepared different variants of renting the scanners according to the size of the festival surface (offer for 50 scanners, 100 scanners etc.). The meeting for wood cutting should be scheduled before going at the university. The team members are obliged to prepare manual for festival organizers and additional short instruction (in the form of sticker) to put on the device.
