My Project
The project presented to me is broken up into two main assignents:
Assignment 1: Enclosure Escape
For this assignment, I will be working with Brown University’s installation of ROS on the EeePC to write a simple random traversal controller. For more details on the assignment click here and for video details of the assignment click here.
Assignment 2: Object Seeking
For this assignment, I will be extending my control client to perform an object seeking task. In this seeking task, my robot will look for and drive to objects (and “fiducials” or “landmarks”) that are recognizable from visual sensing (i.e., camera). For this assignment, I will be working primarily with the Create platform with a Logitech USB video cam- era.

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.
