Mobile robots, cool. For what type of purposes? and is there any specific algorithm used?

Localization and mapping, through Content-Based Image Retrieval techniques.

meaning by using vision of the robot? using camera eh? my fren doing about the same thing. His project name is WALL-E (true story). haha

any movement/pathfinding algorithms?

in a nutshell, my phd is about creating a constructive learning environment in the architectural design studio by augmenting it with an asynchronous online community forum. this would be under architecture education and virtual environment.

does anyone actually understood what i just said?

In short, promote learning in a study by having a forum for ppl to share.

Not at this stage. My research is meant to classify locations based on semantic information of images, and just solely images. All the work is done by camera.

The reasoning behind this is so that it can be ported from mobile robots to humans, without having to code for the specific platform that drives the camera.

LYN???

Cool! Bunch of people doing research studies. Currently, am pursuing my master studies by research. More on structure and material topic. With hope that I be able to produce the governing model for the buckling of triaxial weave fabric composites which consider various components and effects including the contribution of thermal load from the total potential energy method.

Am pretty much stuck with my non linear formulation right now. To date, its has been 34 days am stuck with the problem.

My morale are pretty much struck down right now.

Dont worry dude, im stuck at my codes as well, a month or so, and d best part, last meeting my prof ask me to do something which i have done before and like nullify my current work. hahahha

btw my advise, i just finish dl "homeless to harvard", it will help with ur morale

promote a different type of learning than the existing one, yeah. one biggest difference that i'm introducing is the absence of teachers/tutors in the studio.

almost.

am not phd student yet, but planning to. very soon perhaps.

i completed my 2 and half year of MSc from UPM.
1.5 years for completing research while anothe 1 year for
thesis writing, viva, graduating procedure, senate etc etc

i'm so into image processing+mobile robot.

done some feature extraction methods and experimented with various classification, includes ANN, PCA LDA, hierarchical clustering, and SVM.

well Mr CVSmith, we are in the same field. and you have a very good research. =)

Thanks. Hopefully, it'll be DR. VMSmith soon.

Not to burst your bubble though, but I pretty much lost interest in doing robotics. Once my thesis is done and I've racked up some R&R, I plan to do research in other fields. Hopefully Game Design or Game Theory. (Yes, I know those two are VERY different from each other.

like i said before, PhD is ticket. right?

@exsaga, i will be using Support Vector Machine as well =)


Bro hidan? why are u butthurt? dont u see, ppl start discussing about their phd stuff here? and for example exsaga , VMSmith and me have something in common in algorithm? which soon we will be discussing and this is PhD topic nway.

p/s: i feel sorry for your kind of mindset bro hidan =)

Ho3...I did watch autobiography movie if my morale are down, just for inspiration. Preferably, 'beautiful mind' as one of my choice!!

Phd is for people who are interested in academic line or in research industry. However, the quality of Phd people in Malaysia can be disputed, although I admit I am too stupid for a phd

Or you could try watching "Numb3rs" as well. Though Charlie Epps is quite hard to live up to compared to real people.

Our gov target 18000 Phd Holder by 2015.=D

we always welcome people to dispute PhDs, especially their theses.
