On October 5, 2012 I will be flying off to Vilamoura, Algarve in Portugal to attend IROS 2012 and give a paper for one of my students, Mohammad Shayganfar. I'm looking forward to also seeing a bit of the country around that area.  Then on October 11th, I will fly via Lisbon and Porta to Paris to work with my colleagues there.  This blog is about my travels.
