Trying out draftin
So this is a note I made at draftin.com, I don’t know if I will actually use this or will end up being a waste of time… Well this is sort of nice, but I would have to come here to another website and I already get this from my wordpress blog? Well I don’t… Continue reading Trying out draftin
Agent-Robot Interaction and app idea
I think that the AI would be able to jump around and that it would have access to various other AI like functions like vision, planning, scheduling, communication that reside on the system that it is interacting with. However, its behavior, decision making, goals, history, higher-level learning ability would be part of itself. Therefore, it would interface… Continue reading Agent-Robot Interaction and app idea
Robocup Publicity
Pretty cool the RoboPatriots team got some publicity for Robocup http://newsdesk.gmu.edu/2014/06/mason-students-compete-robocup-brazil/. I don’t think that I said those last two sentences though. I do remember saying that it is neat to go to Brazil since I have never been outside the USA. Ah oh well.
I, Librarian an alternative to Mendeley
Well, I collaborate frequently with people on research projects. This involves sharing research papers. I do this through Mendeley. However, they put a limit on the number of people allowed to be in one group and on the total size limit of the files. I only have 5mb left on a group! So, I am… Continue reading I, Librarian an alternative to Mendeley
Crowd source Bird ID APP
I was taking a walk tonight and I was listening to the birds and wishing I had an app that could ID the birds by their call/song/chirp. I got back home and did a little digging and I couldn’t find an app that did this. So, either it is too hard or too expensive or… Continue reading Crowd source Bird ID APP
Adaptive Checkout Lights
[written in October 2013 but decided to publish now] I think it would be awesome if checkout lights could be more useful. For example, if the light would change color depending on how full the line was. So, it could be red if it was really full, yellow if a little full, and green if… Continue reading Adaptive Checkout Lights
EMF in pipes and Mixing in Space
I was thinking that it would be cool experiment to try to see how much current would be produced by flushing magnetic particles through a system of pipes that were wrapped with wire and connected to batteries. Wonder how powerful the magnets would need to be and how the fact that they are traveling in… Continue reading EMF in pipes and Mixing in Space
Trash Water Sewer oh my
Well, I was thinking that a fun multirobotics project would be to have robots that were trash cans and their goals would be: Minimize expected time to find a trashcan Stay out of the way When full empty into “dumpster” or something Stay charged Minimal movement (don’t move when someone is using it) (Some sort… Continue reading Trash Water Sewer oh my
Human Trafficking Simulation
Need a game that people play that simulates human trafficking without it actually being human trafficking (since that would just be wrong). It could be a MMO strategy game that requires the players to distribute mail in a war zone. So, you can choose to be the good guy, the mail distributor (which corresponds to… Continue reading Human Trafficking Simulation
