Random Thoughts from Wedding

Joined my parents, brother, and sister-in-law to a wedding banquet near our home last night.  It was the wedding of the son of late Mr. Kot.  I remember that around this time 2 years ago I was actually on the same ship with Mr. Kot during a cruise trip to Japan… Sitting at our table […]

World Cup

Robots and Workshop

Watched a presentation this morning about autonomous flying robots, it brought back fond memories of my undergraduate engineering days. For our final year design project (FYDP), my team and I created a robot cat to chase after a robot mouse. Although it didn’t quite work during the 2-day Symposium, the entire FYDP was a rewarding […]
