I had a great week, I learned a lot, and became more familiar with the lab and the software. I feel like I progressed well and was very satisfied with my team and myself. I am looking forward for the next week!

Monday

• Started on Lesson 3, the Robot Controller, under the Physical Robots tab in the crash course.
• We assembled into groups of three.
• Encountered various of errors during programming, however, with the help of Read we were able to fix some of them and go from there.
• Had to research a bit into C++ to refresh my mind on the language.

• Continued with the program from lesson 3.
• Attended a group meeting hosted by Shawna. We introduced ourselves and discussed about motion planning. Shawna, Diane, and Samuel briefly talked about their current research.

• Continued coding the program for the robot.
• Attended a Brown Bag Lecture for summer research students.
• Attended Troy McMahon’s PhD defense.
• Encountered many difficult errors in our code. We felt that we were able to accomplish this without the help of others. So, we started tracing the code and we found our problems. In addition, we were able to fix every single error and I was very satisfied with my team and my self.
• Left home happy.

• Fix issues with robot malfunction.
• Made some great progress with the program.
• Started on the Outline for Workdays.

• Started messing around with the bumpers.
• We encountered an error with the robot. It would move backwards instead of forwards.
• Fixed every problem and we were able to succeed in the task assigned for Robot Controller.
• Started working on lesson 4 “Mulit-Agent Systems”.
• Finished this outline.

• Get more advanced in programming a robot.
• Get more advanced with terminal.
• Learn more.
