I ran across LMR while looking for something else. Information content zero. :)
I've been twiddling with hobby robotics for a few years. I've thrown together quite a few kits and have only recently started to DIY.
My main interests are the AI/software aspects which I've been tinkering with for quite a few years.
I'm a fan of plan-directed robots -- e.g. starting with "constant world" ideas like STRIPS but working my way to noisy time-varying adversarial environments like the neighbourhood sidewalks.
Have a look at my youtube page for a smattering of stuff I'm interested in on weekends.
