11:30 meeting with Mr. Haaf

5 Key questions:

Who? Professor Reinders, Dept. of Computer Science, TUDelft
What? Wireless controlled moving robot
Why? Bachelor MKT project, providing a platform to practise pattern classification, image processing, etc.
How? Education purpose, new project
What for?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals-to-Means shift

Bachelor MKT project involving image processing, object identification...etc ---> Robot equipped with a wireless camera is good and interesting platform

How is this a problem?
Cheap solution with functioning criterion:
The client had a Mindstorm 2.0 robot with Infrared transmitter, which is expensive and useless
for omni-directional communication. ---> build the robot ourselves!


The problem of NOT applying goals-to-means shift:
1. strict and serious client.
2. Not theorectically equipped.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Not well prepared. Only discussed on "goals-to-means"shift and functional block diagram.

Notes on April 19:
1.For "goals-to-means"shift, make the assessor know we do understand this and continue our ongoing thing.
2.For functional block diagram, there are several points as follows:
(a) Each sub-block has an input/output
(b) Try not to be too general for the block name, be specific on certain level (art!)
(c) If using vehicle as the input, try to list all the characteristics
(there are three forms of inputs: matter/energy/information(the former two preferred)

Remaining problems:
(1) PRP, how to elaborate
(2) Functioning criterion vs constraints
(some conflict between ippmsc.pdf and Mr. Haaf's theory
(3) Decision tree
(4) Criterion table
