Hello all,My name is Alistair Dobke. I am a junior computer science major at Harvey Mudd College. In the past I’ve worked with land and air robots so I am excited to “take the dive” into underwater robots.
I have been working on interfacing the ROV and sonar with ROS (www.ros.org) a system used worldwide by research groups large and small. Along with making tasks such as time synchronized data logging and autonomous control easier, I hope to add some new capabilities such as data logging with two sonars at the same time.
Outside of class I enjoy playing soccer, making music, and pretending to be an engineering major. I enjoy traveling and am excited to explore the Mediterranean, meet the rest of the team, and of course make some cool maps.
Hey, cool man! Jeff (hasn't posted yet) and I are trying to get our laser scanner interfaced with ROS for our senior project robot this next quarter. Might be useful to share experiences, as we are new to ROS.
