 ==== New Korean ====
+This week, our Lab Manager, Dongbin, visited Leonard and me at KAIST. Dongbin introduced us to one of his underclassmen, who is currently working at Aerospace Engineering Lab at KAIST. He is currently working with the design of missiles. Dongbin and him shared many of their old story and memories with us.

 ==== What I Learned about Myself ====
-I missed the rain. The constant overcast sky, spontaneous downpour, and occasional thunderstorm this week reminded me how much I missed the rain. The region in China where I was born and lived for 12 years of my live have similar weather conditions as South Korea. It rarely rained in Las Vegas, therefore, I did not have the opportunity to reflect on this point before. However, now I am in South Korea, where the summer experience a raining season similar to my birthplace. I finally realized how much I missed rain.
+I learned that one of the biggest obstacle for my research process is my own stubbornness and inability to ask for help. One of the motto that I tried to guide myself is "work smarter not harder." However, I found myself often struggling with a problem and refuse to ask others for help. My mindset becomes entrapped inside a loop that keeps repeating "I can do it" to myself. More often than not, I will later find out that the problem I am struggling with have a known solution and there are others who could have helped me. I hope I can change this bad habit of mine.

-The first step was to eliminate the difference between length of human arm and Hubo arm. I reduced the upper arm and forearm vectors in mocap data to unit vectors and multiply these vectors by the dimensions of Hubo arm. After plotting the data set, I noticed the noise and discontinuity in the data. I tried to use filters to create a continuous slope.

-Currently, I am working with the inverse kinematic function to transfer the filtered mocap data into joint position data for Hubo 2. Unfortunately, I am still in the process of modifying the IK function to accomplish my specific need.
