The other university that I really want to be involved is definitely Carnegie Mellon University. CMU recently becomes famous due to tough and diverse Computer Science programs. Not only that the Robotics Institutes (RI) is the first and biggest department developing robots. I applied to both of programs CSD and RI of CMU. However, I thought RI fitted to me because of my previous experiences. I saw the state-of-the-art robots here and there around the campus while staying in Pittsburgh. The one interesting robot is balancing robot.
This robot automatically keeps its stable position dynamically within the any environment. By moving the ball under the feet, it can actively interact with humans and obstacles. And human-size robot with air-pressure driven actuators is also impressive even though I saw Hubo’s interactions a few years ago.
As a robotician, CMU RI is the best place to learn and do research. On top of that I reasonably expect that CMU RI will be the best robot institute if they improve their overall image of university, personally. By April 4, I have to decide which university is best for my graduate study. It is really happy situation but also difficult decision at least for me.
In this week, I have to think about which fields I feel happy if do something.
P.S. the problem is that I am interested in a lot of diverse fields.
robot, trip
It was my first visit to the U.S.. With dreams that I had as a freshmen, I finally went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I had dreamed this whenever I felt into sleep. Sometime after getting graduate admissions of schools in the U.S., I often thought that I had completed everything. However, please remember, this is new start, even starting from the bottom. There are no students who know me well and there are no professors who often applause me at MIT. This is absolutely new start. However, this is a new chance (I’d like to refer to it as ‘new transition’) to be brand new Taesoo. Even if I am lack of thorough technical skills and logical thinking skills, I will become new Taesoo as I am dreaming as a scientist. The computer scientist, I love this jargon, is the scholar that I have to be. I saw many young computer genius in my generation in MIT CSAIL Open House. Please think all the time I’ am here as a representative of Korean and KAIST students. I will introduce to you about CSAIL later on 
cs, trip
I hope that I have a trip with all of my family members to Europe. The June or July is perfect time for me to travel Europe with ‘camping-car’. So! romantic. I read this book while taking a train from Seoul to Daejeon. So! fantastic. I will definitely suggest again to my mother and father that we have to have a travel in June. This is the last chance for me to take a break and wander around the globe. My mother do not like traveling or leaving far a way from home. However I don’t know she is genuine or not. Due to traveling fee? I will earn money and pay for all members! I am really looking forward to traveling with my families.
