Restarting Zima in Switzerland

Goal: Test zima hardware to see if it still works after being shipped to europe. Come up with next actionable steps for policy implementation

Work Done:
- connected to zima using lerobot interface developed during winter break, tested networking and hardware functionality by performing some teleoperated demonstrations
- Tried training ACT policy using LeRobot implementation briefly, with successful start (i terminated the run early due to running on laptop hardware, will resume the experiment remotely soon)
- Started drafting general statement of purpose for graduate school applications
-

Successes:
- all hardware and networking work, just slightly more inconvenient due to enterprise network security on eduroam
- Moved to Zurich for ETH exchange and starting robot learning class tommorow

Failures:
- Gripper pad detached and i have no way of reconnecting it until i go to the ETH project house

Next steps:
- Read and annotate ACT paper
- print at ETH
- Resume ACT policy training
- get inspiration for further direction from ETH Robot Learning course
- reprint housing cover and reattach gripper pad at ETH project house

Time spent: 1 hours
