Last week, I explained why typical distributed gradient descent leads to inexact solution, even though the convergence rate is linear (in log scale). There is a very important paper that shows that we can in fact have exact solution by incorporating the previous gradient. This algorithm is called...

The first line are the individual tests for a single esp32 cam connecting to the router. The second line is two esp32-cam connecting to the router and running at the same time:

This is our 3rd field test for the current system setup. Resolved problem since 2nd field test: the equipment move-in and move-out process speeds up a lot (down to

The PID control on horizontal direction was not good (Failed test): The PID control on vertical direction was not good (Failed test): After we fine-tuned the PID control, it worked great (successful test):
