ACE/YARP on Mac – The Easy Way
July 10, 2011
Good news everyone!
Paul Fitzpatrick just posted this on the robotcub hackers list, a very quick and easy way to install ACE and YARP on OSX:
iCub Sim – MBP Setup Pt. 3
May 17, 2011
This is part three in the odyssey of setting up of my new MacBook Pro 13", needed for the projects I am involved with here at IDSIA. Maybe somebody else is using similar software so here is how I setup the following libraries and tools on Snow Leopard: XCode, OpenGL(is part of OSX/XCode), Git, CMake, ACE, YARP, QT, OpenCV, ODE, BulletPhysics, and SDL. In the end I also installed pyBrain (with scipy and numpy). (Part 1 is here, and here is part 2)
ACE and YARP – Setting up a new MBP – Pt. 2
April 15, 2011
Continuing the setup of my new MacBook Pro 13", needed for the projects I am involved with here at IDSIA. This is part 2, trying to get YARP and therefore ACE running on the OS X. Maybe somebody else is using similar software so here is how I setup the following libraries and tools on Snow Leopard: XCode, OpenGL(is part of OSX/XCode), Git, CMake, ACE, YARP, QT, OpenCV, ODE, BulletPhysics, and SDL. In the end I also installed pyBrain (with scipy and numpy).
Setting Up A New MacBookPro
March 14, 2011
Yesterday I got a new MacBook Pro 13", yes the all fancy new one with SSD Thunderbolt and Intel i5 chip, and after some general setting up, I started to add the programming capabilities needed for the projects I am involved with here at IDSIA. Maybe somebody else is using similar software so here is how I setup the following libraries and tools on Snow Leopard: XCode, OpenGL(is part of OSX/XCode), Git, CMake, ACE, YARP, QT, OpenCV, ODE, BulletPhysics, and SDL. In the end I also installed pyBrain (with scipy and numpy). This is the first post *smile*
Project Work
February 8, 2011
In the last few weeks I was getting started with looking into the projects I am (supposedly) working on during at least the next year here at IDSIA. For the foreseeable future I will focus my attention on mainly two projects, both funded by the European Union's Framework Programme. The first project is called STIFF and is lead by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), more precisely their section working on biorobotics. The second one is named IM-CLeVeR and the partners include CNR (in Rome), Universities of Ulster and Aberstwyth (UK).
Fighting Bureaucracy and Computers
November 22, 2010
Time flies, and it's been more than 6 weeks since I came to Lugano. In the meantime I was mostly involved in bureaucratic things (from getting a working permit to a flat), and in-fact it is still not finished =)
Hello world!
October 7, 2010
Hello World: this is my new blog! I will hopefully have some time to update the blog with my research or just generally things I think that are interest...
I finally moved to Lugano, where I started last week at IDSIA. So far I have not done anything really productive, I am trying to figure out what the projects going on here are and who is working on what, socializing in a word =)
