Robotics
iPAQ and Robotics:
While taking CSCI 6530 (Intro. to Robotics), I worked on enabling robotic communication via two iPAQ's. One of our
iPAQ's ran Windows CE, and the other ran Linux. The primary goal was to enable the two iPAQs to "talk" with one another
wirelessly as peers. I concentrated on development with the iPAQ running Linux. The project was continued by a couple of
students from the class.

My robot:
A few summers ago, I took a directed study where I was given the challenge to take a lego technics car and build an
autonomous mobile robot with quasi-intelligent object avoidance behaviors. I accomplished the task and used lego motors,
IR and Ultrasonic sensors (to help provide input for the object avoidance routines), and the MC68HC11 mico-controller
(via the HandyBoard).
If I get a chance, I'll upload a picture of my robot to this page.
