While designing Lego robots, I have found that I need a way to record my designs. Thankfully, I am not the first one to come across this problem. Of course, the most faithful recording is a 3D image.
I came across a site called LDraw, which is an open standard for Lego CAD programs. You can [...]

There was an interesting article in the NYT: The Melting of Greenland
Greenland is melting a lot faster than expected (~2-3x). It had been thought that the ice sheet’s reaction to climate warming would be slow, but the computer models are all wrong…its fast. The problem is that since the computer models are wrong, we can’t [...]

I have been working steadily into the field of robotics. This all started with my interest in designing intelligent instruments that were a symbiotic fusion between the instrument itself (endowed with self-monitoring sensors) and the intelligent data analysis algorithms. While I was at NASA, this research was funded by the Intelligent Data Understanding Program. Since that [...]
