Kwame Martin: DREU at Brown University

Welcome to my summer experience with DREU - Distributed Reasearch Experience for Undergraduates. As an undergraduate who is interested in both Computer Science and Robotics, I have an amazing opportunity to participate in a research project that combines these two fields. I want to thank the CRA for their support and effort in providing me with this experience.

For 10 weeks I will be collaborating with other undergraduate students under the mentorship of Dr. Odest Chadwicke Jenkins at Brown University. The focus of this research is to acquaint myself with the basics of writing robot controllers using ROS (the Robot Operating System). ROS runs onboard a sin- gle robot and provides an interface to the robot’s sensors and actuators over an IP network. Many in- teresting research-level projects can be implemented using ROS.

  • My Info

    Hi, my name is Kwame Martin. I am currently a rising senior at Norfolk State University, earning my B.S. in Computer Science. I am due to graduate in May of 2011. 

    From the age of fifteen years old, I have been ever so fascinated by the world of computers and science technology. I was always excited to participate in computer-based activities, competitions, and fairs to represent my high school and be more engaged in the field. I see Computer Science as the driver’s license for the car one needs to drive in to the future. Everything today is computer-based or oriented. Even modern day toilets and urinals have computer controlled flushing operations, for those of us who forget to flush. The Computer Science field and industry is highly diverse, demanding and in need of pioneers and driven new, young minds. I plan to impact this industry by applying my passion for the field, and my skills and developed talents, to aid in the research and development of breakthroughs in the speedily expanding world of Computer Science.

    I am truly especially interested in CS research in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Computer-Human Interaction, Graphics and Visualization, and Programming Languages and Compilers. So far I have only one research project and I am very excited about having another such research experience which can give me a deeper more hands on scenario pertaining to my major of study.
