Week 4 Day 17


Today started with a seminar with presentations from Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Namuduri.  Dr. Atkinson discussed the applications of using his quadcopter, check it out...

Dr. Namuduri presented on the topic of robotic vision and its application on the mars rover project.  Both gave a very interesting look into how robotics is being used to monitor and collect data from the environment.    




The afternoon was spent taking readings from B251, the grad lab, so we can compare our previous data.  We are also trying to work out a few bugs that we are having with the prototype.  For some reason it is giving an error message every once in a while instead of taking a reading, but then begins working fine for the next reading.  As far as data goes it is not a problem since its only one reading out of 200, we would just like to figure out what the error is.
