* Please describe yourself in three sentences, one of them regarding your current studies.
* Please describe yourself in three sentences, one of them regarding your current studies.
** Which languages do you speak?
I am final year, masters-degree student at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. Since 2nd year of my studies (at faculty of mechatronics majoring in robotics and automation) I became interested in mobile and space robotics. I am active student, engineer and researcher in field of my interests.
** What's your overall background? ''The general field you work in or are studying, e.g. computer science, physics, artificial intelligence, control theory...''
 
* Why do you want to participate in the Google Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
* Which languages do you speak?
** Please also describe your previous experience with the GSoC, if any. ''Includes any community-bonding, mentor experience or application, not necessarily accepted. We use this subquestion to identify which students are unfamiliar with how the program goes, providing further support. It has no negative impact on your rating!''
** Polish (native)
** English
 
* What's your overall background?  
** robotics (mainly mobile robotics)
** AI techniques
** space engineering
 
* Why do you want to participate in the ESA Summer of Code in Space? What do you hope to gain by doing so?
I am applying to this program first time. I would like to improve my software engineering skills to work with different people and projects. Also I hope that my work could enhance and facilitate the development of robotics projects. Additionally, this program is managed by ESA what will be a good point in my references and for my future plans.
 
* Why are you choosing Octave?
* Why are you choosing Octave?
**Why octave software?
First time, I used Octave software for the Machine Learning course form coursera.org. I discover that Octave is a good, free and open-source alternative for Matlab with which I was working during my undergraduate studies.
**Why Octave project?
I was surprised that in ESA Summer of Code in Space proposals I find only this one project related to robotics and only 2 more related with hardware. This project meets my interests and is related to software useful for the robotics research.

* Which time zone do you live in? Will that change over GSoC duration? ''Perhaps DST adjustment or a relocation. Note that both UTC and GMT are not aware of daylight saving time! Please state UTC+x or -x.''

* Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers? ''Example: I usually code around 9.00 to 18.00 and could also try to start earlier (~7.00) for few days ;-)''
* Which time zone do you live in? Will that change over SoCiS duration?  
**UTC+1 (first half of September and from October UTC+2)
* Please state the timeframe (in UTC+0) when you feel most comfortable working during GSoC. Where are your time buffers?  
I usually code from 10:00 (sometimes from 8:00) to 18:00 and at night ;)
