Today was a rather light work day since I had already finished most of what Shihao had wanted me to do over the course of the two weeks. In the first part of the day I worked on adjusting the starting position of the robot. I used a computer program to adjust the angle of the servos so the robot would stand up straight.
After that I played around with the controller to see what kinds of motions the robot can do. The final thing that Shihao had me work on was attaching sticky pads to the feet and hands, so the robot will get more traction. This allowed it to complete some of its actions better because it could get a grip on the ground and not slip.
The past two weeks have been a lot of fun, and I have learned a lot about robotics, engineering, and college life. It was a great experience and I recommend for all future juniors to participate in this program.
