Weekly Report 2

I spent this week researching different hardware options and inverse kinematics. I focused mainly on servo and structural requirements and have narrowed my choices down to two options. I am also actively looking for a professor at UF who will not mind helping me with the complexities of the inverse kinematics and zero point moment calculations as well as giving suggestions on joint design and placement of servos. As far as physical accomplishments go this week I ordered/received my microcontroller, demonstrated it working, and will be receiving a programmer later tonight. By Monday I hope to have all the hardware ordered and in shipment.
