- A novel robot co-worker system for paint factories without the need of existing robotic infrastructure
- Paper focuses very heavily on technical details of the implementation - very little on the Human/Robot interaction and the actual working relationship. The technical details are good and interesting, but it strikes the wrong balance. Good work, bad paper.
- Hierarchically Accelerated Coverage Path Planning for Redundant Manipulators
- Aim: Solve coverage path planning while minimizing cost in joint space, and do so efficiently
- Baselines included a fast method with clunky results re: joint space (solved the path in Cartesian space, not joint space), and a joint-space solver that took a long time. Proposed solution computed a “guide path” first, then sampled nearby to resolve the rest of the path. Much faster than the joint space solution, matching the Cartesian solution while still beating the Cartesian solution in join movements.

Focus This/Next week:
- Prioritize reading a paper every day (I do not have time to devote more than an hour away from time-sensitive TA work reliably during the week, and so far my weekends have been dominated by catching up on TA work)
- Get more breadth and read a bit more from all over.
Longer term goal:
- Maybe turn this series of markdown pages into a webpage of some sort? I know this is possible but I’m not certain how intensive it would be for it to look reasonable. A gitrepo might also be appropriate. let me know if you have thoughts.
