Background: I have a goal of Stacking Jenga Blocks, but prior to that, I wanted to be able to fumble with images. Short Goal: So I started with this static photo of Jenga block that I took from my desktop camera. It would be great if I can draw accurate circles and labels around the Jenga blocks by the ned of this post.    Photo taken using IntelRealsense D435 camera; 640x480 pixals Some usable outputs:    And the stupidity begins… OpenCv 1: 12import cv2 as lvimport numpy as np Typically, pe ...

One year later… Last year was my first encounter with the robotic arm. I managed to understand what it is and how to set it up. Sounds superficial? Indeed!. This spring semester I decided to face the robotic arm again, with a bit more patience and a bit more courage. I felt confident that at least I can learn a bit more on the software side. Goals: The GRAND goal was to stack jenga blocks in a closed-loop visual control rather than a scripted coordinate. To achieve this I give myself some Sub Go ...

My Exploration of Tech: I started exploring tech at the beginning of the summer before freshman year. Before that, most of what I cared about was economics, politics, food, and tennis. So honestly, it was a pretty late start. My real, almost logarithmic boost into technology came in the fall of my sophomore year. Through Tech and Innovation I, I found a class that gave me much more freedom to access and experiment with different areas of technology. A lot of times, I would watch YouTube videos a ...

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer By Walt Whitman When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfe ...

Proposal: I basically wrote a simple, unnecessary auto-logic-flow of by two week questionnaire with the aid of WEBBgpt. And it identifies the major key works and use insert the variables in the pre-made f-string. Still, this is unnecessary.
