Workshop Description: This workshop will cover (1) creating ROS processing nodes (includes creating classes, functions) (2) passing messages between nodes (includes abstracting the problem) (3) capture the images from the webcam and (4) apply different image processing in separate nodes and display continuous processing results. Note: Bring your own laptop with a python installation (2.7, 3.3-3.6) and Speech Recognition Package installation. Installation guidelines will be sent to registered attendees. Biography: Enas Tarawneh is a PhD student at York University in the department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. She works in the Vision, Graphics and Robotics (VGR) Laboratory as a research assistant. Her most recent research involves the development and evaluation of a cloud-based avatar (intelligent agent) for human-robot interaction that is part of a project funded by VISTA. She holds an OGS and VISTA doctoral scholarship. Prior to this, Enas worked as an academic Lead, instructor and e-learning coordinator in the Institute of Applied Technology in UAE in which she received an award for “Distinguished Curriculum Support” and another for “Excellence in E-learning coordination”.
