ScooterLab loaned its first e-scooter to our inaugural student participant from UTSA during the flag-off event held on 20th September, 2024. This marks the official deployment of ScooterLab community research infrastructure initiative.
A batch of eight ScooterLab E-Scooters are all set and ready to go for deployment. We will start advertising the e-scooter distribution for UTSA students soon.
The ScooterLab team and collegues from neighboring labs got together in ScooterLab to assemble our first batch of e-scooters.
The first bulk e-scooter purchase (11x e-scooters) required for the partial deployment planned for the Summer, 2024 was delivered to ScooterLab. The front-end team is busy getting them ready.
We have procured a 2U rackmount server with dual Intel Xeon 48-core processors, 1.4TB RAM and 4x NVIDIA L40S GPUs to house the RAMP server. The RAMP team is busy setting up the RAMP portal.
Our recently acquired BambuLab P1S printer is hard at work 3D printing the newest iteration of the WBSC enclosure.
For SLP3, our focus has shifted towards testing a lightweight model, incorporating improvements based on the insights gained from SLP2. Enhancements include the integration of additional sensors not present in the previous model—specifically, a light sensor, temperature sensor, and microphone.
The ScooterLab Prototype, SLP2, has reached its final stages and is presently in the testing phase. Recent enhancements to the prototype involve transitioning from a Raspberry Pi-based Wireless Base Station Computer (WBSC) to one that is smartphone-based, accompanied by a 3D printed enclosure designed for weather resistance. These updates are part of our comprehensive testing efforts, focusing on hardware, software, and durability against weather conditions. This new prototype brings ScooterLab closer to its first deployment.
We have procured a 4U rackmount server with dual Intel Xeon 12-core processors, 512GB RAM and a 720TB storage to house the Fleet Controller and an initial version of the RAMP. The final/enterprise version of the RAMP will be later moved to another server.
