Hi everyone and welcome back to the second weekly update of the project.
During this week, on Tuesday, we had a Skype meeting with Kaiser Hwang, who is in charge of handling communications and basic SDK related queries. We confirmed details like shipment, release date of SDK and weekly meeting schedule. We will also be provided acccess to documentation so that we can begin to get familiar with SDK. We also explained the basic ETC semester outline and what we should be able to accomplish in this semester-long project.
On Friday, we met Alec on the CMU main campus. He was an intern at Anki and had worked on Cozmo this summer. He brought his Cozmo and showed us a live demo of how the robot worked. He first showed us Cozmo’s current capability and games they already had in the mobile application. He then introduced SDK and how to program and develop with Cozmo. Since we haven’t got our Cozmo yet, it was the first time that we played around with Cozmo. It really helped us to understand the mechanism behind it and we started to think about the variety of games we want to develop with Cozmo.
We spent some time working on branding this week. We currently have several ideas about half-sheet and poster, but we still need to decide which one we want to choose for the final branding. Here are two examples from our ideas.
That’s all for our second week, hopefully we can get SDK and documentations as soon as possible, and get Cozmo by the end of next week. We are really excited and looking forward to it.
