Blog #1: Our first blog post! How exciting! If you missed what we did prior to week 5, weeks 1-4 are also noted in this blog post.

Weeks 1-4

  • Unboxed the Create® 3 and used the included Python Playground to learn how to write basic Python code to control it via bluetooth.

  • Downloaded virtual machines and installed ROS2 with comprehensive and specific documentation.

  • Did a hackathon where we had 25 interns download and install ROS2 to find any inconsistencies in our documentation or errors they ran into.

  • Connected the robot and our machines to a hotspot.

  • Ran simple command code to direct the robot to do small tasks (drive forward, turn, dock, etc.)

  • Learned how to create a workspace and package.

  • Learned how publishing and subscribing in ROS2 works.

  • Used Sawyer's example code to run full python scripts on our robots.

Week 5

  • Wrote our own python client library codes to run.

  • Figured out how to disable multicast and connect our virtual machines and robots to Tufts Wireless by using a network adapter USB.

  • Presented our findings so far to LEGO®

  • Figured out how to run telepresences and tele-operational bots with what we found online.

  • Wrote own GitHub repo so students can clone that and immediately get it working.

  • Built phone holders out of LEGO® Spike Prime pieces and connected that to our robots, zoomed in on our phones, and drove around the CEEO. See this page.
