This page collections information for the January 2007 MVWTfest.

Participants: Julia Braman, Sawyer Fuller, JM McNew, Richard Murray, Kevin Oishi, Ketan Savla (Thu-Fri), David Thorsley, Steve Waydo (Mon), Nok Wongpiromsarn

Goals:

  1. Implement a cooperative control algorithm using graph grammars and involving at least 4 vehicles
  2. Learn about graph grammars, cooperative control, MDS, etc
  3. Leave with the ability to implement algorithms

Activities:

  • MVWT demos and training - get everyone up to speed on using the testbed
  • Fix up infrastructure and documentation, aimed at improving usability for everyone
  • Informal talks on research of general interest

Useful links:

  • MVWT - main wiki page (not very complete yet). We will fill this in during the week
  • Old MVWT page - we need to copy everything from here to the wiki
  • Steelebot Status - current operational status of the Steelebots. If you fix (or break) something, make a note of it here
  • Player/ Stage EGG Demo Status - current status of stage EGG demo simulations and future work.
  • Player/Vision Interface Status-- current staus of the interface between player code and the vision system and a list of needs.
  • MVWT network-- info on the MVWT wireless network
