Prepare

I'v email to Paul about the camera set up and system building. Waiting for his reply and talked to my friend about the cooperation.
First of all, we need to see how does motion track works first -- is anything needs about the robot code; division of effective region; environment test; data trasformation... at the same time, I start to build a system for producing and manage music/sound by using PD.
Last week I gave myself a short holiday, so I did not do much work. Today I really start to work:
Choose music/sound; study PD --maybe due to the different vision of PD in Mac, some objects not exist or does not work in my PD; read ralevent issuse in those two books, but I have not found more interesting stuff.

Start

Two weeks ago, I had talked to Mr. Collins for the robot. He give me couple of suggestion and let his student help me -- code robot base on the project needs.
Suggest:
Try to use the camera system which is already in the CSIS buiding -- save time for building a motion track system.
Robot can be coded in Avoidence funtion depends on the requirment of the project -- the backwards for failure of the system that I suppose to build for motion data analysis and the distribution。
After talked to Mikeal, Giuseppe and Paul. We deside that we still working in the original way but will think about his suggestion -- if some parts of system was failed.

I borrowed two books about the Human-Robot Interaction. There're couple of researches about how to give robot personality. These issuses are more ralevent to the human behavior research for making intelligent robot, I was inspriated -- forgive me don't wanna talk about this now as I am not sure that would be succesful, but I will metion it in the later study.
