Dear students,

I have some good news in matters of our project. I just finished a meeting with my bosses and they happily agree to collaborate in anything that could be required from DFKI side in order to achieve the exchange program. The next step is that we still need to provide the University of Bremen with documents that could allow an exchange program with Tec. This means now the decision will be taken from the arrangements that this two universities can manage with hopefully good results in their understandings. Also, I have to say that in here I am closely working with Dr. Thomas Vögele as he is giving us a lot of this time in this issue.

From our side, we are very interested in having all of you here at DFKI. Also, we will be looking forward to make this exchange program full fill all the Mexican and the German requirements. Therefore, we might need to make some adjustments in the general objectives of our project but they will still be based on working with agents. Specifically, we might need to take a decision of the work and activities you will be doing once coming to DFKI. However, this will be done once all of you could finish to familiarise with the control and development of the Player/Stage and Pioneer robot.

Finally, Jorge told me that some (all?) of you want to work next week on Player/Stage. If you decide to do that, please let me know as perhaps I could have some spare time to be online trying to help you for your improvements.

Kind regards,

Renato Samperio.
