<p>I am happy to announce that I succesfully achieved my <em>green light</em>! I hear you thinking, what does this mean? Well, before you can defend your thesis to finish the <a href="https://www.tudelft.nl/onderwijs/opleidingen/masters/robotics/msc-robotics">MSc Robotics</a> at TuDelft, you’ll have to prove that you are ready to graduate. Therefore a greenlight meeting will be hold where you present the thesis paper through a presentation.</p>

<p>Today I have succesfully presented my paper which means that I will defend my thesis in the second week of June!
