Evolution Of A Roboticist

摘要

Recently, the good folks at Nuts & Volts asked if I would take on the monthly Personal Robotics column. I was quite flattered. I don't have any formal training as a writer, but I've been writing in the technical arena for many years. I regularly participate on various Internet forums and mailing lists, and my "day job" entails writing RFQ responses, crafting white papers, and building detailed instruction documents for customers. In the few articles I've written so far, I've tried to keep a conversational (and sometimes confessional) tone, including all observations, good or bad. I feel that most projects are not just about the destination, but the journey to success. Sometimes the details about what went wrong, why it went wrong, and what was done to recover from the failure can be just as interesting (and useful) as the finished project itself.
