Day 13

Today was research day. The entire duration of the day i looked up and read over 10 research papers all relating to robotics navigation and the differing paradigms that can be used for differing situations such as global ("environment surrounding the robot is known and the path which avoids the obstacle is selected") or local methods ("environment surrounding the robot is unknown, and sensors are used to detect the obstacles and avoid collision") .

Day 28

Today was a solid day. The majority of the day was finalizing my Presentation for tomorrow. And the rest of the day was getting the reinforcement code to launch via command line, and editing the code in visual studio. The internship is ending soon and all loose ties are being tied up. I'm beginning to think about all the things i must do in the coming months to prepare for my application to RIT this coming fall. I've much to do and after the internship ends, i will have no time to hesitate in my preparations to ensure i am not only accepted, but am received with priority or at least regard.

Day 25

Today has been a very slow day. The majority of the day before Kamran arrived i had little to do as my structure draft had not been sent back to me with a review by either Kamran or Rakshit. In the time i had i attempted to locate and edit video evidence to support my statements in my presentation. I had luck finding the videos but editing them was another problem as i could not find any free editing software that could actually crop and cut a video. Unfortunately i had to call in a favour from Aditi as her Mac comes with built in editing software. She has edited some videos for me but i hope i can get Kamran to teach me a better method so that i don't need to bother Aditi's work. Kamran finally arrived and we went over my draft, with him giving me some advice on how to refine it. The rest of the day was allotted to my draft.

Day 26

Today has been a immensely productive day. I have been working on my Presentation and after getting it to a semi-presentable state i showed everyone at the weekly meeting to get as much critique as i can. I got a lot of positive critique and overall most of the senior staff were impressed with what i had currently shown and where i said i would take the presentation. I will continue to work on my presentation until every aspect is deemed perfect by my standards and the standards of those around me.
