Problems in the Nero's OS

Hi,

Yesterday I try to install Ubuntu in "Nero". But I have one "little" problem I can't connect the CD player because I don't have the AC cable. So, if anyone have "one" haha :) Can he/she lend me for the "cause"? haha :) And with this I hope we can know what is the problem... the HD or anything else ...

Cheers,

Carlos L

In the other hand, I was thinking in the OS we will install, and I think the best option is the same Ubuntu OS that "Pio" have. Maybe Carlos G, Laura and Arturo can say me what Ubuntu "Distro" is, to find and download it.

1. Problemas con las baterías: Se intentarán solucionar con fuentes de voltaje para proporcionar el voltaje y la corriente necesaria por tiempo ilimitado y ya no depender de las baterías cuando los robots no necesiten moverse, se investigará si con un vale para el profesor Jorge nos pueden prestar las fuentes indefinidamente. Por otro lado, las baterías se van a quedar cargando toda la noche para que estén listas al día siguiente y se espera que se puedan comprar otros 3 cargadores para cuando se tengan que utilizar los dos robots al mismo tiempo.

2. Problemas con el disco duro de Nero: El profesor Jorge pedirá una unidad de DVD de PC para conectarla a Nero e instalar Ubuntu en el disco duro de prueba. Si funciona, se tendrá que comprar un disco duro nuevo.

3. El profesor Jorge contactará a la profesora Marissa para pedirle las llaves del laboratorio de Visión Artificial y ver lo de tener llaves para el laboratorio de Manipuladores para no depender de los policías para que abran y cierren el laboratorio.

4. Carlos L. y Luis van a checar si Jess y Jade pueden servir para la creación de agentes para Player/Stage.

5. Laura, Arturo y Carlos G. van a aprender C++.

6. El profesor Jorge subirá los tickets que faltan.

Hi

Hi everyone,

Sorry for not posting :( (I don´t have the habit of writting my little steps). This weekend I was researching about Jess. I'm already download it and I'm "playing" with the program to get the advantages and disadvantages, for the purpose of the "agents" and the way the robots will communicate.

Regards,

:) Carlos

About USB

Hi all, I was waiting to the lab to be opened when I realized that the robot have no batteries. As Carlos G. said, this is slowing us a little bit, but when its up and running, Carlos L. or me could get the USB port working.

Regards

Hi everyone!

For the matter of getting to work the USB port, I will be going to lab tomorrow so I can check it out. This week I haven't had the chance to stay by afternoons, so I'll go to lab more less at 11:00 am.

Regards

Today's work at the Lab...

Today Laura, Arturo and I went to the lab to continue testing Pio and
Nero but the converter Arturo bought was only from mini-IDE to IDE and
he also brought a converter from IDE to USB, unfortunately both
converters need power to work which the first one has but the second one
didn't so Arturo has to look for it and bring it tomorrow so we can
finish checking Nero.

Pio is already working except for the USB port in the laser, to check
that we need Luis and Carlos L. to help us because they have more
experience in such matters. We assigned some tickets in Assembla because
we need some stuff to continue working.

We agreed now the highest priority task is to get both robots up and
running and to do that we need:

1. Get another charger for the batteries.
2. Make the backup image for Pio.
3. Check the HD of Nero.
4. If the HD is working properly then make a backup image of it, if not
then look for another HD to replace it and install everything on it.

We checked the three chargers and they are working properly, checked the
power source teacher Marissa told us she would check and repair but
apparently she didn't so we can't use it as another charger. We're
making progress but once again the issue of the batteries will probably
slow us down.

Cheers!

Laboratory reconfiguration

Hallo!

Carlos G., Arturo and I went yesterday to the laboratory to reorganized it. We cleaned the tables and we moved the wooden blocks to the corner and "stole" a table and chairs from the Vision Artificial laboratory . The final configuration of the laboratory is very convenient since we have a considerable free space and we can work more comfortably. The only thing left for the lab to be perfect is to buy candies ;).

Regards!!

Lista de Materias

Hi all,

I would like to ask you to fill the following form with your possible subjects that could be taken in University of Bremen for the "summer semester" of 2010 which begins in April. This information is relevant in order to generate the Exchange program therefore we need your choices as soon as possible. Please feel free to ask us as many questions as possible.

List of Subjects

You will need to be sure that:

1) The subjects can be equivalent to the Tec ones.
2) The subjects you choose are going to be given in the "Summer Semester".
3) Get all the information that is required for each subject.

Many thanks in advance and we will be looking forward to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Renato.

Courses in Germany

Renato and I are working on a spreadsheet for you to put the courses you can take in Germany.

Carlos G. comments that his counselor (Navarrete-Director carrera ITE) told him:

1. Which are the prerequisites of the course that will be taken in Germany?
2. How is the relation of the "unidades" in Tec and the courses in Germany? Remember that in Tec you need to credit units - each unit is equal to 1 hour of work in the course.
3. If the project itself will be awarded academic units, then Tec can revalidate working on the project itself as a course (Proyecto).

Please continue investigating about your courses, specially Carlos L. and Luis as I recall that you did not evalated all the courses.

Hi all,

I would like to remind you to fill the already finished tasks on the Trac with your comments on all the Tickets/Tasks that you have been working since last couple of months. So far, only Carlos Lozano has filled Ticket #9 as Luis for the Ticket #15. Still we need the rest of you to fill the rest of comments.

Please remember that your comments are giving an immediate feedback for the tasks objectives' and project status, there comes the importance of filling each of them.

Many thanks in advance and I will be looking forward to see your online comments soon.

Kind regards,

Renato.

Hi everyone

Hi, I've tried to get in trac and svn but I can't, because I didn't receive the password. It seems that I'm not registered in the mail group.

Dear Students,

I hope you are doing well in your final exams and also that you have the best of the chances for obtaining very good marks. I am writing because I have some news for our project:

1) We finally have been assigned to a Trac and SVN from DFKI. The Trac system will work apart from the blog and only for everything related to the tasks performance. However, we can continue using the blog for everything else. In the Trac system you are able to see which tasks (or tickets) are emitted for being made by you. On the other hand, the SVN is a server that contains all our files related to reports, code or miscellaneous. Also, you need to familiarise to use the SVN functionality and commands only by yourselves. Then if you decide not to use the console commands, you might need to install a client as in any other server service such as FTP, HTTP, etc. The addresses for Trac and SVN are respectively:

https://rlbsvn.informatik.uni-bremen.de/itesm-agents-trac
https://rlbsvn.informatik.uni-bremen.de/itesm-agents

The task or tickets which you already have been assigned can be found in the tab option “RoadMap”. In t his section, you can see the project Milestones. The Milestones show the state of our project and are composed by tickets that you can access from the “Total tickets:” link of each Milestone. Later on, you will receive the user/password to the email account: roboticamovil.cem@itesm.mx

2) Also, for each ticket (or task) that you have already accomplished, I would ask you to put a short comment as the ones you made on the blog. The comment should have your name followed by a brief comment about the goals you achieve and the difficulties you found in order to accomplish your task. These comments will work as a testimony for the DFKI project leaders’ as a feedback of this project as of any other project from DFKI.

So, for finishing all the Milestones we need to close each of their assigned tickets. Therefore, for finishing the tickets all of you are required to type on the ticket space for “Comments” and only then the ticket can be closed. Specifically, after all of you make your comments on the tickets of Milestones 2, 3 and 4; I would like to ask Carlos G. to close these tickets as soon as possible.

3) You can continue your work for Milestone 5 and 6 as soon as possible.

4) Finally, we have some slow improvements for establishing the exchange program. As you might already know, firstly we would need to know which ones of you could come with and without any scholarship from DAAD, as this program has not been established yet. Secondly, we will need to know from you the subject you are able to take here in the University of Bremen too.

The classes are provided by Faculties depending on each subject. I would think you are capable of taking courses in Engineering and Computer Science faculties but I don’t know whether you will like to take “cursos sellos” from other faculties. Also, you will need to check the master programs as these classes are done in English and they will require mostly the same work as the ones from Bachelor. Besides, you can check also any “Erasmus” or international courses which are also dedicated to international exchange programs.

Unfortunately, most of the subjects are in German so we need you to check the following links in order to get some information about the possibilities of subjects that you can take for the “summer semester” as it is called here. The links are organised in order to provide as much information as possible and you might need to translate some parts using in online translator (google is a good one)

It is very important you can do this research as soon as possible with your degree director, so we can continue establishing the exchange program with people from both universities.

Hola a todos:)

Hola,

Respecto a lo que se solicitó, Luis y yo investigamos con nuestra directora de carrera(Irma) y nos dijo que toda la información que nos pidieron tendría que platicarla con el profesor Jorge. Me comentó que pronto hablaría con él para aclarar estos puntos y verificar que materias y que solución se da en nuestro caso(último semestre :S). Tentativamente hablamos de las materias y dentro de las opciones que platicamos con ella fueron las de "Proyecto Integrador" y los tópicos que tenemos aún disponibles. Materias como Multiagentes, consideramos(Luis y yo) podrían ser consideradas. Esperamos una respuesta pronto,

Carlos y Luis :)

Hard Drive

Hey everyone!!!
Yesterday Laura and I went to the lab to work with the interiors robot. The adapter fit correctly for the robot´s hard drive. Unfortunately we couldn´t make the hard drive work, reasons are numerous and here are some of them:
1.- The voltage source that I got is not working correctly.
2.- We are not connecting the HD´s cable in the proper port.
3.- HD doesn´t work anymore.
All cables and adapters are found in the lab if any of you wish to try something else. We´ll talk today to Uresti and try to find a way to solve this problem.
Regards!!! take care!!!

Robot´s Cable

Hey!!!! great news!!!

Today I went downtown and I found what we were missing, the robot´s hard disk´s adapter. Tomorrow I´ll take it to the school, and hope I´m able to install it in order to start working with this interior´s robot. Hope you are all doing well. Regards.

Returning to CEM

Hi all,

Thank you for your posts and for your work in the project during these days.

We still do not know how are we going to manage work in this project as the suggestions are not to motivate people to work close together.

We are discussing this issue and when we have more news, will let you know.

Regards,
