ENDPOINT -> The most basic form of USB communication is through something called an endpoint. A USB endpoint can carry data in only one direction, either from the host computer to the device (called an OUT endpoint) or from the device to the host computer (called an IN endpoint). Endpoints can be thought of as unidirectional pipes.

1 ISO-> Isochronous endpoints also transfer large amounts of data, but the data is not always guaranteed to make it through. These endpoints are used in devices that can handle loss of data, and rely more on keeping a constant stream of data flowing. Real-time data collections, such as audio and video devices, almost always use these endpoints.

−
2 BULK-> Bulk endpoints transfer large amounts of data. These endpoints are usually much larger (they can hold more characters at once) than interrupt endpoints. They are common for devices that need to transfer any data that must get through with no data loss. These transfers are not guaranteed by the USB protocol to always make it through in a specific amount of time. If there is not enough room on the bus to send the whole BULK packet, it is split up across multiple transfers to or from the device. These endpoints are common on printers, storage, and network devices.

−
0 FW [WARNING, I'm not sure]-> USB interfaces are themselves bundled up into configurations. A USB device can have multiple configurations and might switch between them in order to change the state of the device. For example, some devices that allow firmware to be downloaded to them contain multiple configurations to accomplish this. A single configuration can be enabled only at one point in time. Linux does not handle multiple configuration USB devices very well, but, thankfully, they are rare.

Project Summary

This challenge focuses on domestic service robots. The project aims to create robots with enhanced networking and cognitive abilities. They should be able to perform useful tasks such as helping the impaired and the elderly (one of the main goals of our group).

In the initial stages of the competition, individual robots will begin by overcoming basic individual tasks, such as navigating through the rooms of a house, manipulating objects or recognizing faces, and then coordinating to handle house-keeping tasks simultaneously, some of them under natural interaction with humans.
