'''Literature Review'''<br />
[[Image:Review_20120215.pdf‎]]<br />
<br />
'''Development'''<br />
* Carlo has given me a mini project to work on to get me started on Argos. I am working on it.<br />
''' Laboratory Activities'''<br />
* In the afternoon on Monday, I will take a look at the Footbots with Arne.<br />
* Alessandro and I have developed a rough plan for the setup of the camera network, we plan to start the execution this week.<br />
* Nithin and I have also initiated talks, and he wants to finalise a few issues before we continue.<br />
'''Ideas'''<br />
* Using nuclear fission or fusion models to create multiple agents, but the concern is that these models are unlike biological evolved systems and are not adaptive, versatile or agile.<br />
* Study the evolution of dicarboxylic acids</div>Dj
