The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language

11:00-12:00 InMoov 3D printed humanoid robot: Experiences in hardware and software by Alan, Thomas and Walter
Walter discusses working with 3D material and Bluetooth connectivity for his InMoov arms. Sources he used to get this project running:
Modules tested HC-05 and HC06 modules
Create free Android apps using MIT App Inventor (free) http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/
You can use the PopPet app with Arduino Source Code
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cevinius.PopPet
http://www.cevinius.com/2015/10/30/app-powered-poppet/
To use this app, PopPet needs to be running my custom Arduino code. You can download it from here: https://github.com/cevinius/PopPet/

Alan:will provide a 1hr lecture next month (Aug. 2016)
12:45-1:00 Lunch Break (bring your own lunch or use the university convenience store)
1:10-1:25 Business Meeting
Classes:
- June: Bob Barboza class/discussion on Arduino Satellite Project
- July: InMoov robots: Experiences in hardware and software by Alan, Thomas and Walter
- Aug: InMoov by Alan - using the Microsoft Kinect One and InMoov
- Sept: Eric W. plastics and applications
- October: Robots for Halloween by Tim L.
- Nov:
- Dec:
Contests:
- July: Outdoor Robotics Contest
- September : Biped Robot Competition - robot walks ten feet in one direction, turns around and comes back to it original starting area. Fastest and more accurate to the final destination wins.
- November: Get me a soda/drink from the refrigerator contest
- December: Talent Contest and Pizza Party
1:26 Outdoor Robotics Contest: There were three contestants. Only one robot worked. The winner was Justin and his orange color modified RC truck with a custom multi-core, multi-thread board.
Show and Tell - bring your robotic creations to demonstrate or ask for help on your projects
1:45 Justin who won the Outdoor Robotics Contest talks about his robot and how it works. He has custom made hall effect sensors, mutli thread programming, IMU and uses odometry to complete the course.
2:00 Sergei talks about his new two-wheeled robot platform running on Raspberry Pi, Windows 10 IoT, Arduino and C#. Visit his latest projects here https://github.com/slgrobotics/Win10Bot

2:27 Alan gave us a great project update on his InMoov robot project. Alan is now using ROS and very fast MiniITX computer motherboard/video card with GPU.
See his presentation below.
Alan has his Microsoft Kinect One working on his InMoov robot and did an amazging presentation of hi progress.
He is making his ROS files available at https://github.com/alansrobotlab
Also shares his project at https://www.facebook.com/alansrobotlab/
