Assignment repository for Yale's CPSC-459/559 Building Interactive Machines (Fall 2021).

To get started with a given assignment, see the README.md file within the assignment directory.

For Assignments 1-4, it is essential that you have completed the set up instructions in the SETUP.md file that is included in this repository. The instructions explain how to setup a GitHub repository and the general procedure that should be followed by students when working on course assignments.

Assignment 1 will guide you through installing ROS and setting up your workspace in Ubuntu 20.04. You need this operating system to work with assignments in general. If you are a regular user of mac or windows, consider using a virtual machine to run Ubuntu in your computer. For example, this Google doc explains how you can setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu using Parallels Desktop. This other Google doc explains how to do it with VirtualBox, although VirtualBox underperforms Parallels in practice.

Programming assignments are your individual responsibility, and plagiarism will not be tolerated. You are encouraged to discuss assignments with the instructor and with the teaching staff. If you discuss assignment problems with other students, you should indicate this explicitly in your assignment report. Note that even in the latter case, you are required to implement and write any assignment on your own. Students should not copy, nor allow their work to be copied.
