Collaboration

Jim asked:
Are we going to collaborate on our works soon, or after we each have quite completed our own parts? Are we going to have one big project, or several? Do you have specific requirements in mind, or will we discuss it together?


My response:

You will need a platform (robot) to implement and verify your ideas and algorithms. We will work together on creating our robots, which will be our first big project. In the early stage of this project, we only need to establish basic abilities such as data collection, remote control, and emergency stop. The members can use the robots for collecting their datasets and doing experiments. Once your algorithms are mature enough, our robots will be integrated and automated with your works. Of course we will discuss this together.

Regarding your research/thesis topic, you have to define your own problem and find a way to solve it. I will discuss this issue with you individually. You will work on your own topic and with other members as a team at the same time in principle.
