It's June again, which means I turn another year older. June is one of my favorite months. Usually it means a shift from routine work to more experimental work. From educative and directly productive efforts, to more adventurous tasks.
A month ago, I heard that my qualifying exam at Northeastern was accepted without conditions. This was very great news to hear. I was very happy at the moment. I can switch now from that educative preparation to exploring the use cases of two core technologies from my lab at Northeastern, the Transformative Robotics Lab. In this effort, I attended the New England Manipulation Symposium at MIT CSAIL last week. Brett and I went over some of our work.
A lot of folks there used a sensor called a GelSight, to measure surface deformation. Here is an image of my Claddagh ring under that sensor.
And here is an image of my 3D printed insoles after being worn down. Not all technology works without fatigue forever. I am improving the methods of producing 3D printed foam goods this summer for potential commercialization.
But, in the weekends I still find time to go on little adventures. Mountain Osceola has nothing on me and my hiking buddies.
Switching from educative to adventurous a bit this June. I am looking forward to this summer, despite the greater concerns, I will be with my good folks along the way.
