Thesis: I have now finished the introduction to my discussion chapter and I am starting to formulate how the meat of the chapter will flow so to speak. I am undecided if i am going to address each outcome individually or just jump in with what I think is the most important findings and work my way from there.
Model: I made some cool eyebrows for the model simply by stick some robotic claw bits onto the end of a couple of micro servos I had laying around my workshop. This has really added to the expressive functions of the character and I can see it coming to life in front of me... plus my kids love it.
After watching short circuit 2 I decided my robot needed some crazy eyebrows and came up with this concept.
Feelings: I am happy with the progress made over the last week or so, I have been focusing more on the writing side of things but I will be looking at spending a good few days working on the robot maybe from tomorrow.
Evaluation: The eyebrows on the robot look really neat but I need to start focusing more on the bigger picture and that is getting the body sorted. I am waiting on some bracket arriving from china which always take sort of three weeks to get shipped out over here. However, there is still plenty of work to be done fitting the kinect sensor into the chassis and I am going to have to look at the best way of doing this as I am not sure how difficult it is to get inside and take the sensor apart.
Analysis: The current situation of the project makes sense, I think the thesis is still sort of my main focous at the moment as I am still waiting around on stuff for the robot and im not one to be patient enough to just sit and wait for stuff.
Conclusion: In conclusion this has been a very good session, I am happy that I am back on track with my thesis after my speed bump a few days ago. Reading the palgrave study guide I got on writing a M.A thesis really helped me to get an idea of how to go about structuring my discussion chapter and that has really helped with the flow of the whole thing.
Action Plan:I really need to get on and start doing some serious work on the body of the robot so I will dedicate a few days to doing this.
