Visiting radio host

We had a visitor earlier in the week: Rod Taylor, of Fuzzy Logic 2XX and "Ask Fuzzy" from the Canberra Times, came to visit the NICTA Canberra lab on Tuesday. Rod saw a few of the projects around the lab, including

• our foosball playing robot setup: a robot that plays against mortals (not well yet, but that's the point... it's an ongoing summer scholar project)
• Some of our toys, like the nifty wireless gloves
• Mark Reed and the Interferex lab: building wireless interference cancelling systems to extend the range of your phone
• The Bionic Vision clinical test lab: where NICTA researchers place volunteers in a specially designed maze to test out depth-of-field algorithms
• Automap: a team that delivers automatic sign recognition for GPS-map devices
• Opinion Watch: extracting meaningful information from the blogosphere.

Rod also took some photos: you can see them on the Fuzzy Logic blog, in gallery 1 and gallery 2.
