Random Thoughts from Wedding

Robots and Workshop
Watched a presentation this morning about autonomous flying robots, it brought back fond memories of my undergraduate engineering days. For our final year design project (FYDP), my team and I created a robot cat to chase after a robot mouse. Although it didn’t quite work during the 2-day Symposium, the entire FYDP was a rewarding […]
