Robot Swarm   October 05, 2007 We had an interview candidate come in and one of the projects he talked about was a "robot swarm." Of course, since it's computer science, in my mind that can only mean one thing: flocks of angry, mobile, hungry robots (with red L.E.D. eyes, of course) swarming the hillsides, while the innocent and the not-so-innocent flee in terror. I probably wasn't paying attention when he was talking about those parts, but I decided to do a quick sketch of what I image he at least meant to talk about. I should also mention that when I showed it to a co-worker, he liked how the robots were actually bricks with propellers and arms. I must admit, I hadn't intended them to be bricks exactly, but I like that idea a lot and will probably reuse/steal it.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
