Note 1Could we tell which personalities are more distractable from their working memory performance? [note-0011]

At Neuromatch Academy, we hypothesized certain personalities were more distractable, measured by poorer working memory, and proceeded to check via clustering (KMeans, PCA, TSNE) and building a prediction model. Disappointingly, the results were not significant. We'd need to quantify distractability better. Presentation

Note 2Drone photogrammetry and miscellaneous features [note-0013]

A team project for the USS hornet defense hackathon. The drone can take 2D images and calculate the coordinates of these objects in 3D, recognize them and then put them on a map. There’s also celestial navigation for GPS backup.

Note 3T-posing on humanoid robots [note-0025]

It was really difficult to work with humanoid robots given numerous servo motor incongruences during calibration. So we threw a hail Mary and just told the robot to go to T-pose on demand, given webcam data. Connect to robot, program fixed points, figure out centre of mass and bounds while playing back pose trajectories.
