Week 1 (January 13th - Janurary 19th)

 * Project discovery
 * Research of related projects

Week 2 (January 20th - Janurary 26th)

 * Mise au point des objectifs de l'équipe
 * Récupération d'un kit Rob-Air à monter
 * Initialisation de la phase d'assemblage de ce robot en partenariat avec l'équipe composée de David Levayer et de Paul Mariage
 * Recherche sur "comment faire un plugin skype"
 * Première tentative pour faire fonctionner skype via java : skype doit, pour le moment être lancé avec son interface graphique pour que le code java fonctionne.
 * Search how skype is used to

Week 3 (January 27th - February 2nd)

 * Assembly of two new RobAIRs --> just one for the moment
 * Beginning of the redaction of Software Requirements Specification
 * ROS environment installed on Ubuntu and work
 * RobAIR can now move by itself ! (debug in progress)
 * Meeting with Amr Alyafi (effective code obtained)

Week 4 (February 3th - February 7th)

 * fixe Skype objectif with M. Donsez
 * we try to run the code from previous years (we can't understand how their project could work with so many mistakes...)
 * Now robair can speak with keyboards press
 * Graphique interface is working but we can't control robair with this. (Debug in progress)

Week 5 (February 10th - February 14th)

 * Bug with control and webcam connexion (client try to connect himself but he can't be connected to the server)
 * Meeting with M. Donsez because we are so in late to realized this project : Finaly we modify us subject --> skype can't worked because code is closed so we are going to use "WebRTC".
 * RobAIR works! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5XhrDY0tFI&feature=youtu.be

Week 6 (February 17th - February 21th)

 * Change ROS version, from Hydro to Fuerte cause of new udpate of some packages and with these new packages we can't use some library.
 * Correct so many bug of the last project, see http://air.imag.fr/index.php/Proj-2013-2014-RobAIR-1/getStarted
 * WebRTC is a new technology so we don't have any documentations : if you want to used webRTC follow this instructions : http://www.webrtc.org/reference/getting-started/ (in progress)

Week 7 (February 24th - February 28th)

 * We try to understand how webRTC works.
 * Native api in chrome and mozilla
 * Realization of little application using webRTC : we can catch the webcam of use browser (here mozilla, but it can works on chrome)
 * We begin to understand how connection between two browser works (the connection is not realized, not yet !)

Week 8 (February 3rd - February 7th)

 * we realize connection beetween two browers with webRTC
 * install robair simulator (turtle) and change the source code to move the robot with w,s,a,d
 * we try to send some data (data, audio or video) by webRTC but it fail (debug in progress)
