Pool Trial of the robot upcoming

The next pool trial of the Aqua robot family is schedule for tomorrow. We will be using the huge McGill University pool to run serval kinds of experiments.

We will be doing tests with both Aqua 1.0 and well as the newer model called Ramius. Ramius has a problem with the motor controllors for one of the legs, probably a defective SA60, but we should be OK despite that especially since it will be used mainly for testing vision systems.

Olivia will be doing a whole slow of tests with her model-based controllers. These will use Aqua 1.0.

Mike Jenkin and some of the people from York University will be here also. In addition to doing planning and helping with the experiments, they will be getting ready to take one of the Aqua-family robots back to York permanently. This model is known as Kroy, but it's not quite finished yet.

Anqui and Junaed will be testing vision based gesture control, tracking and servo control, and some neat not-yet-disclosed ideas.
