Brain storming

Engineers facing the world ...

Engineers believe they can fix everything and in case of failure, they are humble enough to accept carry the guilt personally and mention that it is them who can not solve the challenge, but a challenge always has a solution :-)

I like to be an engineer ;-)

:-S

I feel I got a lot to do ...

Climbing patterns

Fast climbing with degrees from 0 - 360 degrees

Slow climbing with either upwards and downwards, or right and left

The combination of these two types of climbing can give a combination of very fast climbing plus precise climbing when needed. Also fast climbing method gives robot the chance to move to directions from 0 - 360 degrees.

Positioning calculations, Walloid

Update 17.03.2011 : These calculations are totally wrong ... The whole concept is much easier than these things. See the new post about the positioning calculations.

-----------------------------------

Although my supervisor meant that the positioning is happening through very easy geometrical calculation but I struggled a lot to find these equations. I am soon going to code this in my program for Walloid and come up with practical results. I should thank my dear friend Puya Afsharian who helped me a lot in figuring out some of the details.

Artificial Intelligence

I am taking an Artificial Intelligence course at department of Informatics(INF5390), where Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach is the book. Our lecture believes in this book as a bible for AI and this makes it as a good reference in my master thesis as I see LOTS of similarities between what I have done/do/will do and what I learn here in an academic way. I think I can use this source both as an theory back-up for my master thesis and an explanation of my decision making process in my codes.
