Robotics : The First Step

December 12th, 2010


Introductionary video of Aldebaran Robotics’ Nao

Starting my robotics journey with learning and working on Aldebaran Robotics’ NAO Robot at Cognitive Robotics Research Centre, which is led by Dr. Torbjorn Dahl. It’s been more than a month since i have joined them and environment is just awesome. Everyone is really helpful and good to me. They helped me a lot while learning to work with NAO Robot and still doing, I’m the one eats their brain more than the robot does.

Dr. Torbjorn Dahl talks about Robotics, RoboCup and future developments of robots in an interview by NPORTTV

As a member of CRRC, I just started researching on Vision Processing ( Image Processing and Vision Analysis ) and Robot Localization using a different concept than the RoboCup team is currently working on. I know I’m not that capable yet and have a long way to go, But always remember “Adapt, Improvise and Overcome” that’s how it goes.

So the early future plans are:
1) A lot of work and research on Image processing algorithms.
2) Working with “Telepathy” module of Naoqi.
3) Work on computational intelligence algorithms.


Okay, Here’s the end of this update with few links:

And the research continues ..

August 31st, 2010

Hey everyone,

I hope you guys are doing well.
First of all, Thanks for being so supportive, appreciating my work and posting such nice comments. Also, Sorry for not updating my blog as I’m really busy these days.

And yes, few updates from my research.. Yeah Yeah! I know, I’m busy but still, I can’t stop it, I’m addicted to it now. New things, New problems, New ways to think and Finally the New SOLUTIONS ! That’s how it goes!

Let’s talk about Sphinx, firstly, I got a partner to work on it. “Puneet Jindal” , Another Stubborn guy like me *Lol*, always ready to burn up his mind and a die hard Algo’s Lover. He’s pursuing B.Tech ( finaly year ) from NIT,Kurukshetra. We have got 85-90% accuracy on hundreds ( as the Accuracy Tracker says ) and now we are working with thousands of words to get same accuracy level on them.

Second major topic is HTML5, And I’m really loving it ! Not much to share about it. Just want to say, “HTML5 is just SO AWESOME” !

Now the upcoming topics, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), 3D Painting and Gaming/Artificial Intelligence Algo’s. I haven’t really started working on these topics, You can say that I’m having my one eye on them.

That’s it for now !
