I am currently building a
robot
mainly as a teaching tool for our Information Technology Laboratory
within the
Institute of Physics
at
Eötvös University.
I designed a small platform with four independently steerable and
drivable wheels to mimic the
Sojourner rover
(Mars, 1997) and adopted the
Handy
Board
to control the vehicle. Sonar rangers, electromagnetic compasses, and
IR devices will help the untethered mobile robot to navigate.

I have written four
educational
programs during my undergraduate studies, some of which I marketed
in Hungary and also in some Scandinavian countries. Here is a set of
screen shots from the programs: an
image
processing package, a
cellular
automata, a nuclear reactor
simulator and something called
Daisyworld,
a program which simulates global warming. |

A few years back I got fascinated by three-dimensional box
kites
and two-line stunter kites. I had fun building them, each taking less
than a day to complete. I have some photos of them on this page.

I created
maps
using
Xearth
to indicate places I visited around the globe.
I have my own
xearth_markers.list
with the coordinates of the cities
which I got from the
National Imagery and Mapping Agency
and from the
USGS Mapping Information.
I used this list to plot the locations on the maps.

I have taken many
slides
since the early '80s. I created a table mostly for my own reference to
keep track of the boxes of slides, listing the dates, places, and
subjects. I started to scan some of the pictures and linked the
digitized photos to this table. I plan to have more
Kodak PhotoCDs
made in the future.
