I am considering study phd, too.
I had decided to get my master in Japan.

Now, I am AI student in UM, last semester.

Doing my thesis on Stereo Vision on Robot Navigation. Mine is a 3-person project. My part is on mapping. Now very headache.
Trying to do map merging. My current approach is to use distance between object to merge the map. But, recently found too much unreliability...
Now, I trying to use image registration to do the map merging...

I have a question here:
Is it ok if my master thesis is the enhancement of the method during undergrad thesis?

did your friend apply for other scholarships?
Sound like that panel is just giving a stupid reason to not giving out the scholarship for her only.

Does this apply to Masters in overseas?
If you don't mind pm me the reason. I'm so curious about it...

And not many people will get phd and interview for work after that right?
Usually they will become lecturer or a researcher in certain Uni.
Some might be INVITED into company for their findings, too.

That what's I saw in my Uni. One of my lecturer quit his job here and get invited into company.

Which of you are doing Masters and Phd overseas?

I never know can do conversion like that...

After phd, are you all going to continue for postdoc?
According to my information, postdoc takes 2 years and counted as working experience, too. And they got salary?

the hard part for me is what kind of new research can i do...

Most professors just don't simply accept u because of the research proposed...

Define minimal brain usage...

No matter how minimum on brain usage, it will still sufficient to make someone headache for PhD.
Even doing simple survey, you still need to know how to set the questions for the survey and how to analyze the survey.
In such level, I doubt you will still use the way you do your survey during undergraduate...

Computer Science

Isn't the lecturer that takes you in might help you apply for scholarships?
Or in AUS this doesn't happen?

Cause from what I heard, in Japan, the lecturers will usually help their Masters or PhD students in getting scholarships.
And the chances will be higher, too.

try on RA is better than try on working.
When you work you cant simply quit like that.
Beware when they blacklist you.
That means you have bad reputation not only on that company but other related companies too.
