We will take this class to have each group give a presentation on the progress of their term project.  This will be a portion of your final project grade.  Every team member should give some portion of the oral presentation. 

At this point, you have approximately one month left, so you should be finishing up implementation of some social intelligence capabilities on the PR2.  Give us a progress report toward the interaction you are working on.  And importantly, you should use this time in-class to brainstorm with the class about the exact experiment that you will conduct over the last few weeks of the term. 

Thursday, Apr 28:

 

    We will use our last class for final project presentations. 

    Final project deliverables not due until final exam date (Tues May 5).
