how can i be wrong? hurm.. then whos this? mind for a little clue?

what kind of research ure doing? well, a bright future i can sense. anyway, all the best bud! just dont forget to post me an invitation when ure getting tied to a woman.

Bilakah result nak keluar ni????

Thanks a lot. Basically, my research area is on nanomaterials for lithium-ion battery. Not very mechanical engineering related, you can say.

Dengar kata 8/2/13 atau 9/2/13 kot.

You would not know me.

i hv a great memory, trust me.

u will change what feature in the batt? the aim is to?

The main objective is to optimise the performance. Also include characterisations and stuffs.

good luck on that bud! seems like ure going to solve the problem of having smartphones to be charged at least twice a day.

im going out. catch with u later bud!

tearing my hair out...

u know the feeling when..

the logic is suppose to work.. but no matter what you are doing....


the damn code and hardware just... haha. lol . Lmao. Im not going to work for you. =P



haha....

i shall retire for the day ... and live to fight another day...

fyp , ya not gonna win me. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYP only wor...

lol.... when ur stuck... ur stuck... =P


wat im doin for fyp is more like title fit for postgrad.... uunfortunately.... supervisor didn't really lower the goals to fyp standard...

so.... struggling to complete it in like record time(which im sure won't be able to be perfect.. lol... mapping is still a heavily researched area sigh)

You have to learn to manage your project lohh. If FYP also you cannot handle, really can forget about doing Masters or PhD by research liao. Maybe Masters by coursework will suit you more.

Lol..
I know what I'm capable of..

In cooperative path planning of swarm robotics, if you have to tackle the problem of determining your agents’ position and creating a map at the same time, this problem is known as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Have you worked on Monte Carlo localization method to estimate the robot’s state vector? While computationally expensive, it is quite feasible to use this technique with standard desktop computers.

finally someone that rings a bell.... =.='...

yea , but before that, I have to determine a suitable way/method for localizations, my projects for now, is limited to an indoor environment, and localization is done preferably using stationary beacons... which the goal is to extend it to being mobile beacons.

I have studied, and did testing and data collection on RSSI based methods, but it proved to be too unreliable for the resolution I need. Also, to quote another person that took a snipe at me. "It is a complete fallacy to think RSSI have any relationship with distance"...

I am now moving on to another method, for which I plan to use a hybrid RF/SONAR beacon localization.



I need to keep the computation relatively low cost... the algorithm is going to be implemented in cheap disposable mobile robots powered by an 8-bit arduino. =.='''.....

This goes in line with swarm theory, that put emphasize on distributed processing and importance. throw one out, the group still works..

How i wish on each bot is a laptop.... THEN i can go full blow with the methods available.. lol

Figure 1: Hybrid RF/SONAR beacon localization like this Millibot?

Long live the School of Mechatronic Engineering UniMAP! I'm sure you know that biological swarm is a fascinating behavior of nature which was inspired from social animals' behavior like the Ants & Birds. While ants lay down chemical trails as they move, birds produce a variety sounds to communicate with flock members. So, do you want to test an acoustical signal tracking experiment?

Since you are good with electronics and Arduino programming, you can design a wheeled mobile robot as a swarm robotic platform for implementing voice exploration behavior.

First, develop a module to connect to robots for processing given voice signals using the proportional signal strength approach that estimates orientation of sound source using fuzzy logic decision making. The voice processor module utilizes four condenser microphones with around -50db sensitivity which are placed in North, East, South, West directions of the circuit board for capturing surrounding sound signals.

Finally, captured samples by microphones are then processed to estimate the relative positions of the sound source in the robotic environment. After estimating the position of the signal's source, all agents move towards the target.

haha... u have spoken my mind.... i got 2 bots here.. not complete yet though.. waiting for after cny, back to uni discuss with co-sv... lol... and list down the stuffs to buy...
