Week 6

Week 6

Day 1

I continued the research into the things needed for a robotic arm.

Day 2

I looked into player/stage and printed off a couple of example drivers to guide me how they created. I also found some documentation on how to actually create a driver in player/stage.

Day 3

I continued looking through these example drivers to see what I actually need to go into my driver. Later this day we had our weekly seminar which was on how to create your research poster. After this meeting I continued looking through all the drivers.

Day 4

On this day I continued working on looking at how to actually create a driver and began to program the first part of the driver. Basically what the driver would use to actually work.

Day 5

I began this day really frustrated about moving the arm so I decided to get back in contact with some guys for the University of Auckland that I had contacted before about moving the arm.

Goals working on:

Interface for arm

Begin: May 30, 2010
