This page lists out the steps that need to be undertaken when you join the lab. You'll need to send in the information listed below. thumb|400px

  1. Get round-the-clock access to the 3N Wing of GDC.
    • To get access to the North 3rd research wing, you need a new-ish proximity card.
    • Take a look at your proximity card. If it says iClass Px, then you're good (as shown in image). If not, you need to get an upgraded card at the FAC building.
    • Once you have an upgraded card, please send your EID by email. We'll approve your proximity card for the 3N wing door.
  2. Get round-the-clock access to the lab.
    • We have a key-box outside the lab. Please ask someone for the code and ensure that you can retrieve the key from the box. Please re-attach the box after you open/close the door and spin the dial 1 complete revolution.
  3. Get access to the lab machines.
    • Send in a desired username for the lab machines. This does not have to be same as your UTCS username, but it can be. We'll email a randomly generated password for the user account back to you.
  4. Before working with the robots, you need to make sure you go through the tutorial on how to turn it on and off. Take a look at Using the robot.
  5. To use the software system, it is good to get a good idea about ROS. Here are some good resources:
  6. Next, you can go through other Hardware and Software tutorials on the wiki.
