extra blog post
This month was really slow. From mid terms to spring break, my mentors were swamped with work and I decided to just read books to compensate for the absence, but is what it is I will resume mentor ship this Thursday

Blog 18: Third Answer
EQ: How can an Electrical Engineer best improve military use of robots?
Answer 3: Electrical Engineers can run a series of tests/prototyping to improve it later along the line of production. (THIS MUST BE SHORTER)
details: NCTR functions are usually performed with no cooperation from the target concerned and in most cases the target is not aware that is being identified. Air Force reconnaissance platforms, like AWACS, and JSTARS, and Air Force combat systems like the F-16, F-22, and F-35 have NCTR requirements for their sensor systems to identify threatening targets with high reliability beyond visual ranges in order to perform their full potential and to achieve high levels of operational effectiveness.

The results obtained from our
experiments suggest that such an emotional system which has been successfully
implemented in other application areas, such as security (facial recognition)
and medical (blood cell identification), can be also efficiently used
in military target identification,
in particular considering the fast performance of the system in terms of
training (learning) and decision-making times.
Sensors might offer new features that could be exploited by new
characterization algorithms. And New algorithms might be developed with the ability
to combine measurements, at the pixel or feature level, from different sensors.

Fourth Interview Questions
1. how is it possible to link many devices, all with different languages, and work in a smooth functioning system and would it be a good thing or a bad thing and why.
2. what is the best platform (FPGA etc) to work with and why.
3. how does a UAV or UGV develop a flight path or guide itself. Please explain the Process.
4.How is power consumption a crucial factor within UAV or UGV devices.
5. How safe ought robots be prior to their introduction into the marketplace or society?
6.How would we balance the need to safeguard robots from running amok with the need to protect them from hacking or capture?'
7. what limits do we have within robotics and drones, such as restrictions?
8. How can a UAV identify a friendly UAV from another provider/ operator, given they are both made differently?
9. How can an autonomous ground vehicle help with target identification, and how is it beneficial?
10. how can Different voltages or power supplies affect the performance of the robot?
11, whats the cause of lag in a UAV or UGV?
12. How can you fix lag, is it software or hardware.
13. how can the design of a radar dish affect its performance.
14. whats the best way for UAVS or UGVS to communicate efficientl?
15. whats the most effective way to keep a robot from overheating without too much energy consumption.
16. whats the recommended voltage for powering your boards and why.
17. why is it that we use FPGA and not arduino boards, does it come down to specific needs?

February blog post
For February, we did a lot for my mentorship.
The biggest thing that happened was me going to a Nothrop Grumman eweek event and I'm actually in the picture! !!!!! I got to meet many designers and tech engineers and they gave me tips of everything that I have to do and what they look for when they hire. It was awesome!
Then back to my regular mentorship, we are running many tests on the UGV we are trying to fix any bugs in the system before we say it's done.
BTW if you look in the Northrop picture, I'm collaborating with some of the designers, ( bottom right picture)
