C++ — Compilation includes 4 steps 1. Preprocess 2. Compile 3. Assemble 4. Link Preprocess clang++ -E main.cpp>main.i Preprocess includes codes for files, removes comments, header and expand macros. Compilation clang++ -S main.i Generates main.s file. Assembly clang++ -c main.s Generates main.o file. Linking clang++ main.o -o main Generates main as executable file. That’s it for now. See you later.

PhD Application — So, I have accepted an offer for a PhD position in Sweden. While I was applying for PhD positions, I wrote a couple of Research Proposals along with a Motivation Letter. I have previously written about my Research Proposals here: Research Proposal An end-to-end model for Autonomous Drivingthanifbutt.medium.com Research Proposal 2 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Visual Perception for Safe Landingthanifbutt.medium.com

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Visual Perception for Safe Landing — I had written 2 research proposals for PhD applications. I have previously written about one of them here: Research Proposal An end-to-end model for Autonomous Drivingthanifbutt.medium.com Today, I will write about my second research proposal which is as follows: Introduction Drones can increase the efficiency of delivering goods as they don’t have to cater traffic congestion and delivery personnel…

An end-to-end model for Autonomous Driving — So, I got a PhD offer from Halmstad University, Sweden on AI for commercial vehicles and I have accepted it. By the way, it’s my third offer, I got 2 other offers at different time instances but I wasn’t able to start first time because I had not completed my…

I Think — So, I didn’t went for my PhD which was to be started in August because of some personal reasons. I am now working towards a journal extending my work on Camera Calibration. I am also working on animal detection for Camera Trapping. I hope to start my PhD next year, where, I don’t know for now. I had nothing to write so thought about this little update. That’s it for now. See you later.

Robots and Simulators — Previously, I wrote about Actions in ROS: Basics before starting with Robotics — Part 8 Actionsthanifbutt.medium.com Today, I will talk about common robot subsystems and describe how the ROS architecture handles them. We will also talk about some robots and simulators in which we can most easily experiment with them. Subsystems Like all complex machines, robots are most easily designed…
