Results

You can download a copy of Alex's presentation

• The optimization group will have their own weekly presentations, but the will invite robotics people to participate, just like the swarm-bots presentations are open to optimization people. Seminars will continue as always and presentations might be given both at weekly meetings and at seminars.
• Anders brings his coffee machine to test it. In case it pass the Italian test, we will buy one while the super-machine is being fixed.
• Simulators and a standard interface for simulators:
  • Rehan and Alex are going to talk to Vito and make a plan
  • Rehan proposed Halva's interface, which he is going to send to Ciro and Anders for discussion on the next meeting
