Meeting Summaries

October 8, 2010

Summary of meeting between Prof. Pedro Lima and José Nuno Pereira on October 8, 2010.

Topics:

1. Bio-Inst Project: Confirmed participation on further tasks of the Bio-Inst project, focusing on the tasks regarding institutional task and modeling.
2. Formalization of Institutions (PN work): Presented initial ideas about formalization of institutions as Petri Net Plans and some examples using the corridor case-study.
3. 'Corridor Case-Study: Real robots experiments on the corridor case-study were not performed. This was due to the inability of combining camera operations and infrared message exchange operations on the e-puck robot (both being too demanding on the dsPIC processor). This problem can now be bypassed with the use of the new infrared boards for the e-puck. These possess a separate processor dedicated to deal with all aspects of message exchange. This allows the e-puck original dsPIC to be able to handle the camera operations.
