First Revision of the CEM-DFKI Project

The work done by myself can be divided into two parts: Software and
Hardware. Having a little more involvement with the Hardware part.

Hardware:

*

Reassembly of both the interiors and exteriors robots.

o

We understood a little bit more about the interiors robot
hardware architecture which was the most disassembled one,
the exteriors robot just had some cables disconected and the
laser but should quite similar.

o

We found a problem in the laser because the USB port doesn't
seem to work, we assume it's a software problem because we
tested the cables and they worked fine, we just hope the
actual laser works fine. On the other hand we were able to
get Internet connectivity so we can do the image of the HD
by networking means before we try some other stuff on it.

o

We found some (perhaps) hardware desigin flaws at least on
the exteriors robot because of the batteries. They need to
be inside and charged before the robot can be turned on
(obviously) but also when plugged to an energy source which
is kind of weird. Speaking about the batteries, we have some
problems because we don't decide in a way to get them all
charged. It might be two at a time (because we have two
chargers) or 4 at a time which would be a lot better to
avoid different charge on them and to damage either the
robots or the batteries which would represent a significant
extra inversion. Another possibility is the use of a power
source which is at the lab to get the four batteries to be
charging at the same time but we still need to figure out if
the source is working properly.

Software:

*

Installation of Player and Stage.

o

Well, I haven't been able to completely install the software
because....noone knows why. It should be working but I'm
going to take another aproach suggested by Renato and I hope
I can get it to work ASAP so I can catch up with the others.
