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. | |||

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 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. | |||

I usually code from 10:00 (sometimes from 8:00) to 18:00 and at night ;) | |||
