This week I successfully ran my first ROS program which made the Create iRobot spin in one spot. I was able to quickly make myself familiar with the ROS code and also have the iRobot perform a basic Traversal in a straight line at a specified linear velocity. See videos below for more details.

Basic iRobot Traversal


Also this week I took time out to go check out the mall, restaurants & nearby parks with my friend Torri. The surrounding neighborhood is really nice, and safe. After research I take evening walks and strolls to get my mind off stuff.





My friend Torri & I. She lives out here in East Providence, Rhode Island.


We had lunch @ a nearby Asian restaurant called, Shang Hai. Torri's sister works here. My 1st time eating clams. :)

Then we headed down to Indian Point Park by the waterside to hang out for a few.
