Detect Sensor Drift for a Field Inspection Robot Fleet
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Detect Sensor Drift for a Field Inspection Robot Fleet. Intermediate challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-v...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Detect sensor drift across a 12-robot inspection fleet with a calibrated false-alarm budget and a usable health dashboard.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design statistical drift signals from raw telemetry
- Calibrate detection thresholds against a stated alert budget
- Design a fleet-health dashboard for non-engineer operators
- Connect anomaly-detection outputs to a usable operator surface
