This week was very interesting. We were divided into three groups of three to set up the preliminaries of the project; getting the sensors of the robots to work, setting up the laptop web cams to read the markers, and setting up the environment where the robots would be tested. My team and I were given the task of setting up the markers and making a virtual representation of the environment. We were able to finish the marker placements and next week hope to finish the virtual representation. Below is a more detailed report of this week...

• Monday
• Gathered real world application information for research project.
• Printed first set of markers, (50 markers), for environment modeling.
• Cut and set up first set of markers for environment modeling.
• Began gathering measurements for first 50 markers.
• Tuesday
• Continued measuring and recording measurements for first 50 markers.
• Printed second set of 50 markers.
• Finished measuring first 50 markers.
• Began setting up second set of markers around office.
• Wednesday
• Began gathering measurements for second set of markers.
• Re-measured key points of office for accurate environment modeling.
• Printed third set of markers.
