In the morning we learned that Eduardo (our exchange student from Mexico) had gotten object detection working. We watched a demo, and will try to proceed with the Garcia project again. Also in the morning, we had a brief Q&A session about the paper we will write and our midterm presentation next Friday. We should cover a short lit review, methods, and project results to date.
We took previous flowcharts and simplified them to help build the program in simpler steps:
Step 1: drive around in a box (completed)
Step 2: avoid a simple object while driving around the box (we are almost here - there is still a little work to do)
Step 3: Avoid any object while driving around a box.
At 3 pm, we went to a seminar on wireless sensors and networks. Dr. Fu presented some cool work he'd done in monitoring heartbeats via bluetooth on a smartphone, and monitoring wind pressure on a test building at Texas Tech University. Then Dr. Acevedo discussed the use of wireless sensors for environmental research around Denton.
