Friday Night

Wednesday and thursday where only university days. My robot can walk now from A to B and reacts properly to simple obstacles. But he has a problem with bigger obstacles. Those, who are interested in it: I covered the pathfinding algorithm from the algorithm for Bresenham-lines and added some simple reactions to obstacles. But I think I have to redesign it, because of the big-obstacle-problem. He needs a memory where he has already been on his path and he needs to calculate the path before he starts to walk on it.
On friday I did nothing special. I phoned StuBo for moving to 16B, I could only speak on a recorder. Better luck next time. I also contacted my home university for some bureucracy stuff. I guess this will never end until I would leave Germany. Not that I plan to do it (I hear the rumors arising again). But I hate this German behaviour first to think about rising for denying service. For my financial support from the state, I need two applications from the university. But the department of my university pretence for not knowing me, because I am not listed on a paper. Instead of looking into the computer system they send my brave Hans (thank you!!!) away. In Sweden it is totally different. I can go to several offices at the university asking applications. They are connected to one central system and have all information they need to help me. The biggest difference to Germany: they want to help me.
In the evening Nawelle invited me to a baskelball-match. Sundsvall has won against Öresund, but I liked Öresund more than Sundsvall. They commited less fouls and played with a better technique. Afterwards a private (salsa-) party started at town. A salsa-lesson was included and Julio, our teacher, had a lot to do. I did not participated the exercises, this time, but I am looking forward to next thursday where the advanced course starts. I can only remember the basic steps. Julios friend made a "punch". I thought it is a punch, but it was more related to the german word "panschen". It tasted well, but after I have seen how it was made I did not want anymore. It was wodka with juice. Alright. But it was also the rest of forgotten beer cans and what ever was standing around in the kitchen. Bon appetit.
Today I slept very long unwilling to get out of my bed. Tonight I will have my second swedish partylife-experience.

Hey Markus.

Ich weiss zwar nicht was "Bresenham-lines" sind, aber hat du fuer deinen routen planer mal A* search gedacht?

Der kann dir wirklich schnell einen weg van A nach B planen, und es ist auch einfach zu implementieren. (Am besten mit Manhatten distance als under-estimate)

Viel spass damit
Maarten
Es gibt einen Bresenham-algorithmus zum Zeichnen einer Linie. Für straight-forward Wegstrecken ist das ausreichend.

A*search haben wir erst diese Woche gelernt, der Roboter aber schon längst eingereciht. Ich weiß aber auch nicht, ob der Simple-Agent mit so einem Algorithmus nicht schon überqualifiziert gewesen wäre ;)

För den jag är

Unbelievable. Anna is already since 10 days gone. Or is it only 10 days? I lost my feeling for time. Everyday is full of experiences and activities. I cannot recall everything what I have done in the past two weeks. Many things are just small things which I appreciate a lot. But the last weekend was a highlight. We went with 12 people in three cars to a place called Vallbo near Åre. We started at half past 6 in the morning on Saturday. Although some of us did not sleep at all during the fromer night we walked almost 8 hours. And it was awesome. We walked through so many different landscapes. Wood, swamp, high gras, Tundra, stone desert, climbed up a mountain, walked crosswards through the wood, on a dead river... Overwhelming. I remembered pictures of New Zealand while we wandered through that panorama. The view was breathtaking. The weather changed quickly a few times. One we had even an ice shower. In the end of the day we stayed for dinner at a pension where we got selfmade soup, b...

Ankle parade

What a weekend. Friday I watched "The Ring" with Christian and Maritha. And for getting down after the movie we watched Scream3. Saturday was a soccer-tournament in the Nacksta sportshall. When we entered the hall and watched the other teams we realzied immediately "Damn, they know how to play". So we started straight away we tactical plans. "Ok, first, with which foot do you shoot" - "Right" - "I as well right" - "Right, too" - "Don't know, I never kicked a ball before"... We were definitely the team with the most fun. We laughed so much. More and more werid tactics arised. From playing in a circle, so everybody can shot with the right foot, to Eileen's scare-tactic which should not explained in detail here. After three matches we were out, but we won at least the second. During the second game in injured somehow my ankle. I have no idea when and how, but I skipped for that reason the last match. The girls h...

Like I Do

The weekend was to short. During the first days I always have to remember Östersund. On monday I had a predicate logic lesson. Until now I can follow the lesson. The lecturer started to express everything in mathematical formulas, so can finally learn that, too. Yesterday we had swedish lesson. I like these lessons. Ella has prepared something, but we have everytime something else to question. Yesterday we brought a article about Anna from a magazine. During the lesson we read the article and discussed it. And because it was full of partizipels Ella taught us partizipels. Today Basti and I had our first Decision Analysis lesson. Because Jim became father another lecturer taughts the lessons. Aron makes his job fine, I think. He tries to involve the audience and explains everything in details and with funny examples. But one thing I don't like: as always at this university you need a course book. And as always there are just two copies at the library. And the bookstores have to orde...
