* Think about implications of what you are presenting for the research direction of the lab as a whole - methodologies, technologies etc.
<br>

==Timing & Attendance==

The weekly meetings '''ALWAYS''' take place on

<center> '''Wednesdays at 15.00''' </center>

Unless:
* A given Wednesday is a public holiday, or
* Something very important (like a Ph.D. defense) is overlapping.

If either should happen the meeting is postponed to the next day.

'''Please indicate on this wiki page if you are not going to be able to attend a meeting''' (no later than the Friday before).

==Wednesday 7th November 2007 - Alex+Alvaro ==

'''''Agenda'''''

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
#*We will present two different works:
#* Infrared Communication on the Epucks : We have developed a library that takes care of the proximity sensors and uses them as a communication system. Local communication is up to 33B/sec getting the distance and direction of the source as well. A proof of concept (Now you do what they told you) will be shown during the meeting.
#* Sharing knowledge to stay on the path : We have some simulations dealing with odometry errors to find nest and prey in a closed arena. Robots communicate between them to reduce dead-reckoning error. Here we present a first attempt to accomplish the task. Results show the importance of social learning with local communication without the need of a global knowledge.

==Thursday 6th December 2007 - Christos ==

'''''Agenda'''''

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
* The Evolution of Self-Assembly in a group of two homogeneous robots.
I will present my latest work on evolving self-assembly. The same dynamical neural network controls two sbots, providing the decision-making about who grips whom, but also directly controlling the actuators for the gripping action. This type of work differs significantly from work addressing the same issue performed previously in the lab.

==Wednesday 15th November 2006 - Shervin ==

'''''Agenda'''''

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
#* The presentation is about the experiment I'm currently setting up on simulation. The experiment compares the chains with a new controller I call forcefield. I will shortly describe my new controller, and give a detailed description of the experimental setup and the results I expect. My goal for the discussion is mainly to get some feedback and criticism concerning the experiment.

'''''Agenda'''''

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
#* The presentation will describe my current work on the use of virtual pheromones for path selection. The predictions of a mathematical model will be compared with results from simulated experiments. I will show that the group of robots is able to display a collective choice in favour of the shortest path, and that it can possibly balance the exploitation of these paths.

==Wednesday 31st January 2006 - Christos ==

'''''Agenda'''''

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
#* I will present my work in progress concerning :
a)The Evolution of Self-Assembly: Artificial Evolution can be used as an automated process that can identify the conditions for achieving self-assembly in autonomous robots. In this work we follow an approach where the experimenter does not predefine all necessary conditions,including motion, gripping, seeding. On the contrary, we want the ANN to control all these events. Particular importance will be given to the emergence of role in the robots. "Who grips whom" in a homogeneous robot group?
b)The Evolution of Communication in the case of collective categorization through different history or experience. This work is an extension of an idea I developed on trying to evolve communication in groups of robots with different sensory apparatus (morphologically heterogeneous agents).

'''''Agenda'''''

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
#* The presentation is about the experiment I'm currently setting up on simulation. The experiment compares the chains with a new controller I call forcefield. I will shortly describe my new controller, and give a detailed description of the experimental setup and the results I expect. My goal for the discussion is mainly to get some feedback and criticism concerning the experiment.

# '''Presentation / Discussion'''
#* The presentation will describe my current work on the use of virtual pheromones for path selection. The predictions of a mathematical model will be compared with results from simulated experiments. I will show that the group of robots is able to display a collective choice in favour of the shortest path, and that it can possibly balance the exploitation of these paths.

Christos:

==Purpose==

# '''Community'''. Keep everyone updated as to what other work is going on in the lab
# '''Research'''. Cross germination. Get feedback. Get help on problems. Get ideas.
# '''Admin'''. Lab administration.
<br>

==Format==

# Presentation & Discussion (30 - 50 mins)
#* Work you have been doing
#* Reading you have been doing in the context of your work
#* Other reading on something you are passionate about
# Robotics Group Administration (0 - 15 mins)

Try and make your session as involving as possible for everyone:
* Send round material to be read beforehand.
* Ask people before the meeting what aspects of your work / reading they would like to know about or discuss.
* Think about implications of what you are presenting for the research direction of the lab as a whole - methodologies, technologies etc.
<br>

==Timing & Attendance==

The weekly meetings '''ALWAYS''' take place on

<center> '''Wednesdays at 15.00''' </center>

Iridia Supplementary Information Instructions page

2006-09-19T08:24:38Z

Christos:

In this page you can find instructions on how to use the new Iridia Supplementary Information page.
Every person should transfer all the supplementary information (videos, images, pictures, graphs, etc.) in this page and for every paper that contains this kind of information, create an entry.
The structure is as follows:
* There is the page http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/supp in which we keep record of all the papers containing supplementary information, with a link leading to a dedicated page containing this info.
* Under /supp/ there are directories, one for each paper, containing all the media plus an index.html file

The procedure is the following:
People should contact Christos Ampatzis, who will create a directory under http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/supp/ with the title IridiaSupp200x-00x, with the numbering according to the year of the paper and the rank it gets for that year. Papers will acquire an ascending number (first who asks for a number gets it).
At the same time, the publication details of the paper should be provided to Christos and he will upload them to the SUPP page.

The owner of the directory IridiaSupp200x-00x will be the USER who asks for it.

Once every user has her/his directory, (s)he should
* create an index.html page which should contain ALL the information referred to in the paper. It can potentially include extra text. See http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/supp/IridiaSupp2006-001/index.html for an excellent example by Max.
* copy all the supplementary information (images, videos, etc) in her/his directory, and USE LOCAL LINKS in hers/his index.html pages

From now on ONLY this way of using supplementary information should be used. In case though, in old papers you have included links to pages e.g. in your own homepages or hosted on your machine, THEN, what should be done is the following:
* once again produce the index.html page, can be a copy of your old cited page
* copy all the files in the directory IridiaSupp200x-00x
* REDIRECT YOUR OLD CITED PAGE TO THIS NEW ONE with sth like: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/supp/IridiaSupp200x-00x/index.html">

In case you have any questions contact Christos.

SBOT STATUS

2006-04-24T14:13:44Z

Christos: /* Quick status update */

The goal of this page is maintaining an updated list of the status of the s-bots in IRIDIA
For each s-bot, a short list of hardware/software problems should be given.
Every time an error/problem occurs while experimenting with the s-bots, it *must* be recorded here.

== Quick status update ==

* 10 robots in IRIDIA, 3 in Lausanne - 26,22,6
Please check with the meter the battery level BEFORE turning them on. Already 9 and 23 were at around 5 V. , and did "weird" stuff, plus couldnt be accessed by minicom. Maybe battery runs low when unused? We have to talk to Lausanne (Christos)

== Common hardware problems ==

The following document list common hardware problems and their solutions:

The goal of this page is maintaining an updated list of the status of the s-bots in IRIDIA
For each s-bot, a short list of hardware/software problems should be given.
Every time an error/problem occurs while experimenting with the s-bots, it *must* be recorded here.

== Quick status update ==

* Christos is gone with 4 sbots (22, 23, 26, 35). 22 and 26 will be dropped at EPFL for repairing. Christos will be back within one week with sbot 23 and 35.

* 6 sbots should arrive from EPFL (when exactly ?).

* We have no serial cable at the moment at IRIDIA.

== Common hardware problems ==

The following document list common hardware problems and their solutions:

[[Media:Quand_quelque_chose_est_casse_sur_le_sbot.pdf | When something happens to the s-bots (French, pdf)]]

* I just broke the gripper. Sorry. [[User:Acampo|Acampo]] 01:35, 5 March 2006 (CET)
* This s-bot is currently in Lausanne for repair. I also changed it's functioning sound board with the non-functioning one of s-bot35, which is now OK

===sbot 23===
ok ([[User:Acampo|Acampo]] 14:19, 5 March 2006 (CET))
===sbot 26===
* Turret get very easily misaligned -> need very often calibration. [[User:Acampo|Acampo]] 18:29, 26 February 2006 (CET)
* Network is not easy to get. I usually have to reboot once or twice. [[User:Acampo|Acampo]] 18:29, 26 February 2006 (CET)
* The bad recharging circuit has been interverted and put on sbot26. DON'T RECHARGE sbot26, DON'T USE sbot26.
===sbot 35===
ok ([[User:Acampo|Acampo]] 14:19, 5 March 2006 (CET))

== New chargers and robots ==

Report here a pair of robot / charger where the charger switched to green automatically, i.e. it is safe to leave these
charger / sbot combinations overnight.

Christos:

Reserve your arena time slots. Include your name, the number of sbots you need and any other comments useful for planning and coordination.

'''Note: This time table is just a draft. It is always possible to negiotate with people blocking the slots :-)''' For instance, if someone has to work in the x-mas week which is blocked by Rodi and Ciro completly(!!), it can be arranged.

Robotics weekly meetings

2006-02-06T16:45:27Z

Christos: /* Wednesday 8th February - Christos */

==Purpose==

# '''Community'''. Keep everyone updated as to what other work is going on in the lab
# '''Research'''. Cross germination. Get feedback. Get help on problems. Get ideas.
# '''Admin'''. Lab administration.
<br>

==Format==

# Presentation & Discussion (30 - 50 mins)
#* Work you have been doing
#* Reading you have been doing in the context of your work
#* Other reading on something you are passionate about
# Robotics Group Administration (0 - 15 mins)

Try and make your session as involving as possible for everyone:
* Send round material to be read beforehand.
* Ask people before the meeting what aspects of your work / reading they would like to know about or discuss.
* Think about implications of what you are presenting for the research direction of the lab as a whole - methodologies, technologies etc.
<br>

==Timing & Attendance==

The weekly meetings '''ALWAYS''' take place on

<center> '''Wednesdays at 14.30''' </center>

Unless:
* A given Wednesday is a public holiday, or
* Something very important (like a Ph.D. defense) is overlapping.

If either should happen the meeting is postponed to the next day.

'''Please indicate on this wiki page if you are not going to be able to attend a meeting''' (no later than the Friday before).

If you forget to note your absence in advance you will be severely punished and will be forced to buy a nice, big cake for the following meeting.
<br><br>

This week I am going to give a "VERY INFORMAL" (please note the "informal") presentation on some work I'm currently doing on the evolution of signaling using Evolutionary Robotics methods. Note that, the meeting will be strictly focused on the description of my experiments (which, unfortunately for me, they are not very successful at the moment). So, if you are not interested in listening my sorrowful talk, you can certainly miss it.

#* cotechino (kind of spiced Italian sausage)
#'''Ciciri e tria''' (typical salentu dish prepared by Vito... someone already tried, but as Vito was drunk that time, he used a bit too much pepper... He promises he won't use pepper this time!). Ingredients can be bought by Vito in south Italy (to be refounded):
#*3/4 Kg of "tria", fresh pasta similar to tagliatelle
#*Cickpeas
#*celery, carrots, onions, garlic (same as for lenticchie)
#** I don't believe that Vito will not drink. See below... --[[User:Hlabella|haiax]] 16:32, 14 December 2005 (CET)

#'''Keftedakia''' (Greek version of arabian KEFTA, prepared by me). Ingredients:
#*minced meat, persil, onions, garlic, olive oil, bread crumps, salt, pepper
#*very easy prepare, its even eaten cold

#Michela will prepare '''Frico''' for everybody!! Everybody needs to try a piece of FRICO once in life! it is very simple and it is made just with potatoes and typical cheese from my region, Friuli.

#*bruschette (keep away Michela from preparing them, she puts far too much garlic!)
#*tomatos with shrimps in "pink sauce"

#*Greek salad. Ingredients: tomato, cucumber, onion, green pepper, olives, feta, persil, olive oil, sat, oregano
#*...
#NÃ¼rnberger BratwÃ¼rste. They are small sausages from Nuremberg. Guess who is bringing them?--[[User:Hlabella|haiax]] 11:24, 21 December 2005 (CET)

===Who cooks?===
#Vito
#Paola
#Ciro
#Christos
#Fede
#Michela

===What are we gonna drink?===

# Negroni
#* Simple to prepare. We need: Campari, Gin, Red Martini.
#** The real problem is "how much"...
# Jaegermeister
#* Simple to make drunk Ciro. We need: Ciro, Jaegermeister.
#** The real problem is "how drunk"...
# Mojito
#* Simple to prepare and less deadly than Negroni. We need: White Rum, Lemonjuice, Peppermint, Sugar, Sparkling Water.
#** The more the better. There is no problem...
# Caiprinha
#* having mojito the step is straightforward... We need only cachaÃ§a and limes in addition!
#** The problem is having some brasilians to prepare it...
# Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
#* I know, it's pussy. But so are we!!!!!!
#** The problem is getting some real beer, because that Italian stuff is unswallowable
# Wine
#* You pigs, remember that civilized people invented WINE to accompany food. Given that we are in Italy, a wine producing country, that we can afford to buy Italian wine there (unlike here that it costs TOO much), we need wine!
#** If it is cold, we might also prepare some Vin Brulé.
# Whiskey
#* The Celtic race apart from music contributed to the world with this maginificent digestif that lords and other people that know how to enjoy life honour. Every evening, we all deserve a glass of whiskey. To welcome the new year also. Sth cheap better: say Jameson (not [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001398/ Jenna], she's expensive)
#** well, [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001398/ Jenna] may be expensive, but her [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408890/ dvds ] or [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409156/ tapes] may be not... you bring some from your collection, Christos? :P --[[User:Vtrianni|vito]] 18:15, 14 December 2005 (CET)

#** The real problem is "how much"...
# Jaegermeister
#* Simple to make drunk Ciro. We need: Ciro, Jaegermeister.
#** The real problem is "how drunk"...
# Mojito
#* Simple to prepare and less deadly than Negroni. We need: White Rum, Lemonjuice, Peppermint, Sugar, Sparkling Water.
#** The more the better. There is no problem...
# Caiprinha
#* having mojito the step is straightforward... We need only cachaÃ§a and limes in addition!
#** The problem is having some brasilians to prepare it...
# Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
#* I know, it's pussy. But so are we!!!!!!
#** The problem is getting some real beer, because that Italian stuff is unswallowable
# Wine
#* You pigs, remember that civilized people invented WINE to accompany food. Given that we are in Italy, a wine producing country, that we can afford to buy Italian wine there (unlike here that it costs TOO much), we need wine!
#** If it is cold, we might also prepare some Vin Brulé.
# Whiskey
#* The Celtic race apart from music contributed to the world with this maginificent digestif that lords and other people that know how to enjoy life honour.

#* cotechino (kind of spiced Italian sausage)
#'''Ciciri e tria''' (typical salentu dish prepared by Vito... someone already tried, but as Vito was drunk that time, he used a bit too much pepper... He promises he won't use pepper this time!). Ingredients can be bought by Vito in south Italy (to be refounded):
#*3/4 Kg of "tria", fresh pasta similar to tagliatelle
#*Cickpeas
#*celery, carrots, onions, garlic (same as for lenticchie)
#** I don't believe that Vito will not drink. See below... --[[User:Hlabella|haiax]] 16:32, 14 December 2005 (CET)

#What about some '''appetisers'''? Com'on guys, propose something!!! --[[User:Vtrianni|vito]] 14:29, 16 December 2005 (CET)
#*bruschette (keep away Michela from preparing them, she puts far too much garlic!)

# Mojito
#* Simple to prepare and less deadly than Negroni. We need: White Rum, Lemonjuice, Peppermint, Sugar, Sparkling Water.
#** The more the better. There is no problem...
# Caiprinha
#* having mojito the step is straightforward... We need only cachaÃ§a and limes in addition!
#** The problem is having some brasilians to prepare it...
# Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
#* I know, it's pussy. But so are we!!!!!!
#** The problem is getting some real beer, because that Italian stuff is unswallowable
# Wine
#* You pigs, remember that civilized people invented WINE to accompany food. Given that we are in Italy, a wine producing country, that we can afford to buy Italian wine there (unlike here that it costs TOO much), we need wine!

Christos: /* What are we gonna buy? */

=!!!!!!! PARTY !!!!!!!=

===What are we gonna eat?===
#'''Cotechino & Lenticchie''' (Lenticchie prepared by Vito, cotechino prepared by anyone). Ingredients:
#* lentils (Vito can buy in south italy ;-) ), celery, carrots, onions, garlic, olive oil
#* cotechino (kind of spiced Italian sausage)
#'''Ciciri e tria''' (typical salentu dish prepared by Vito... someone already tried, but as Vito was drunk that time, he used a bit too much pepper... He promises he won't use pepper this time!). Ingredients can be bought by Vito in south Italy (to be refounded):
#*3/4 Kg of "tria", fresh pasta similar to tagliatelle
#*Cickpeas
#*celery, carrots, onions, garlic (same as for lenticchie)
#** I don't believe that Vito will not drink. See below... --[[User:Hlabella|haiax]] 16:32, 14 December 2005 (CET)
#** I didn't say I won't drink, I said I won't use pepper!!! --[[User:Vtrianni|vito]] 16:38, 14 December 2005 (CET)
#'''Keftedakia''' (Greek version of arabian KEFTA, prepared by me). Ingredients:
#*minced meat, persil, onions, garlic, olive oil, bread crumps, salt, pepper
#*very easy prepare, its even eaten cold
#** I would say the "prepared by me" is referred to Christos ;o)--[[User:Paolap|paola]]

#***Crostini (or toasted bread) --[[User:Hlabella|haiax]] 12:07, 19 December 2005 (CET)
#Michela will prepare '''Frico''' for everybody!! Everybody needs to try a piece of FRICO once in life! it is very simple and it is made just with potatoes and typical cheese from my region, Friuli. Paola, I think you will find Montasio in Venice, but Asiago could also be good (considering that in bxl I used Gouda...)
#What about some '''appetisers'''? Com'on guys, propose something!!! --[[User:Vtrianni|vito]] 14:29, 16 December 2005 (CET)
#*bruschette (keep away Michela from preparing them, she puts far too much garlic!)
#*tomatos with shrimps in "pink sauce"
#*tzatziki: yoghurt (preferrably the turkish one, which is much better than the greek one), dill, cucumber, olive oil, salt--[[User:Ciro|Ciro]] 11:13, 21 December 2005 (CET)--[[User:Hlabella|haiax]] 11:24, 21 December 2005 (CET)

===Who cooks?===
#Vito
#Paola
#Ciro
#Christos
#Fede
#Michela

===What are we gonna drink?===

# Negroni
#* Simple to prepare. We need: Campari, Gin, Red Martini.
#** The real problem is "how much"...
# Jaegermeister
#* Simple to make drunk Ciro. We need: Ciro, Jaegermeister.
#** The real problem is "how drunk"...
# Mojito
#* Simple to prepare and less deadly than Negroni. We need: White Rum, Lemonjuice, Peppermint, Sugar, Sparkling Water.
#** The more the better. There is no problem...
# Caiprinha
#* having mojito the step is straightforward... We need only cachaÃ§a and limes in addition!
#** The problem is having some brasilians to prepare it...
# Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
#* I know, it's pussy. But so are we!!!!!!
#** The problem is getting some real beer, because that Italian stuff is unswallowable
# Wine
#* You pigs, remember that civilized people invented WINE to accompany food. Given that we are in Italy, a wine producing country, that we can afford to buy Italian wine there (unlike here that it costs TOO much), we need wine!
#** If it is cold, we might also prepare some Vin Brulé.
# Whiskey
#* The Celtic race apart from music contributed to the world with this maginificent digestif that lords and other people that know how to enjoy life honour. Every evening, we all deserve a glass of whiskey. To welcome the new year also. Sth cheap better: say Jameson (not [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001398/ Jenna], she's expensive)
#** well, [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001398/ Jenna] may be expensive, but her [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408890/ dvds ] or [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409156/ tapes] may be not... you bring some from your collection, Christos? :P --[[User:Vtrianni|vito]] 18:15, 14 December 2005 (CET)

Plan Christos Ampatzis

2005-12-05T11:37:13Z

Christos: /* Plan (future work) */

= Plan (future work) =

*Communication in a group of robots, Emergence of Communication
*Link communication to decision-making mechanisms-Up to now it has been linked to one "choice", what if we increase the possible decisions to be taken?
*Tentative:Study a functional self-assembly case on real s-bots with Evolutionary Robotics tools - Collaboration with Anders

= Goals =

*Understand what allows a group of initially non-communicating agents to develop an efficient communication protocol
*Link to game theory(possibly?)

= Things to do =

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2

! Description !! Start date !! Deadline !! Time required !! status

|-

| Submit Journal Paper of current work || 2005 Nov || To be discussed || ~3 weeks || Open

|-

| Design next task || Jan 2006 || N/A || N/A || Open

|}

= Papers to write =

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2
