Solving BRAK's need for power

Welcome all! My name is Jason and I am doing a bit of research with the Computer Vision and Robotics Group at UOP. My goal for this site is to let you in on what I am up to while keeping the web-cruising clean and clear.

This is site version 2.0 so there are a few additions:

• There is actually stuff here besides links! ..."and there was much rejoicing..yea...."

• My presentations for Fall 98 are here for your viewing pleasure.

• So is my current research paper... in progress, of course...

• Schnazzy new-er CVRG logo! ...boredom + photoshop5 = logo.

• A top notch Résumé!

• And more! Peruse at your leisure.

What Am I Doing Anyway? As with all autonomous robots, eventually their batteries will run out of power. In my side of BRAK and Shrimp's research, I have chosen to develop a system that will have BRAK detect when its power cells are running low, have him seek out a wall plug and plug itself in. This project is the accumulation of many topics in current robotics: power management, motion, vision and identification, and robotic arm motion. For the complete report of things, you have to check out the paper. It is worth your time!

Quick Tour: Everything is accessible through the imagelinks on the left bar. Here is the quick synopsis of what lies behind...

• Home : This page!  For easy returns.

• Research : Heart of the site.   You will find the paper and the presentations.

• Software : Everything that I code will go there, plus some useful extras. Check it out!

• Links : Useful sites of Comp Vision, CVRG Team and more!

• CVRG Home : The house of the CVRG Family. Tells you all you need to know about us. Probably a good idea to check that out to see what this is all about!

Here we are!   Left to right; Me (yes, I can smile..just a bit late..lol), Brook Votaw and Roland Rutland.
