I gave a presentation this morning to the Florida West Coast section. As you can see, I was primarily talking about the search and rescue group at USF, CRASAR. As per request, I am posting some copies of slides in [PDF] and [Flash]. I did this presentation in Keynote, which most people don't use, so hopefully these versions will work.

I thought the presentation went reasonably well -- no one actually fell asleep on me and I had a good question and answer session at the end. I have a few things I would like to change the next time I do this talk, which will likely be in a few months at the IEEE Sections Congress here in Tampa. I think a better approach for that venue will be a "Day in the Life of a Rescue Robot", and using this I can build a better framework for the presentation. Should be fun -- especially since the audience there will be more on the order of a thousand...

Oh, the videos that I used in the presentation were pretty massive. If anyone is interested in the media clips I used, please email me and I will see if I can dig up smaller / more compressed versions.
