My honours thesis.

Robotics

I studied robotics as part of my undergraduate degree. This included participating in Robocup 2002, an international robotics competition where teams program robots to autonomously play soccer against each other. Our team came in 4th place, out of 19 teams. There are some photos of the competition.

The paper that resulted from my Robocup work:

• Particle Attraction Localisation, by D. George, N. Barnes, Proc. IEEE/RSJ Interational Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS2003), Las Vegas, USA, Nov., 2003. (PDF)

I built a simple walking robot that can follow a blue light.

I just finished building a CNC machine, which is now going to be used to make a shiny new robot.
