Following tasks

The following task to be done is learn how to use another Player tool named Playernav which is an add-on with which you can control the robot.

In order to use it we need to create a map of the real environment. We have two options to do this. The first one is to use the robot to make a log and then a map of the real environment. The other one is to get a map of the laboratory that doesn’t include any chairs or similar bodies.
After we learn how to use playernav we are going to be able to make a program with the client for the robot to move around.

In this link you can find the following tasks which are TASK 2 and TASK 3. The pmap tool is very useful for SLAM in two dimensions.
Renato also encouraged me to look at the codes of the playernav and the playerjoy tools in order to understand their functionality.
I’m shearing once again my available schedules. I hope some of them agree with yours
Mondays and Fridays: I am available between 1 pm and like 6 or 7 pm.
Wednesdays: I am available between 1 pm and 6 or 7 pm as well unless I have physics laboratory which I usually finish by 3 pm.
Tuesdays and Thursdays: I have a free hour from 1:30 to 2:30 pm and then from 4:00 to 5:30 pm.

  1. Hi Laura (and all),

    Many thanks for posting this information for all. However I would like to discuss first with Jorge and then include it in the plan before any of you can begin doing them.

    In the meantime I can tell you that the plan revision will be next Tuesday and it will be based in the tasks that all of them have done until that day. I hope all of you can finish on time.

    Also, I would ask Laura to work closer to Carlos Lozano and Luis in the tasks they have to do in order to obtain a developing platform. As developing platforma I mean how you are going to be compiling your programs and including them in the robot.

    Many thanks again and I will be looking forward to hear from (all) of) you.

    Renato.
