Hi Everyone,
How was your summer? I wish each one of you have a fun, restful and restorative summer! This summer is kind of "special" for me since I literally worked throughout the whole summer. Even though the work is intensive, it is actually quite interesting. I happened to get an opportunity to support a robotics class of high-school students, and guided another group of college transfer students of engineering school to do research at City College of New York (CCNY). We were mainly working on the AR Drone 2.0 and its flight-control app (FreeFlight). The results are very encouraging. Part of that effort will be integrated into our curriculum (Drone Programming).

I also got a new experience to participate in the booth exhibition of SpaceFest 2013 at Intrepid Museum.

While I am preparing for the new semester, I wish you all enjoy the last
few days of your summer! I can't wait to see you all in our new class
next Monday, and hear you sharing your summer stories.
