Nope. They built it themselves.

I do work on this. Your last point is correct (and probably the biggest issue). Others include weather and general vision problems.

It's impressive. Making anything completely driverless working at incredibly high speeds is challenging.

This is a very interesting area of research. The state of the art in motion planning for robotics actually uses multiple heuristics at once with A*. http://www.roboticsproceedings.…

How far along are you?

Have any publications you could point me to?

Take a look at this paper: http://web.cs.du.edu/~sturtevant/papers/incnew.pdf Specifically, look at the Martelli G family example.

This isn't true. An admissible heuristic guarantees the optimal solution. With an inconsistent heuristic, A* can re-expand states multiple times, but will still end with an optimal…

Totally agree. And when one of the suggestions for porting to Py3 is "Decide if the feature is really that important. Maybe you could drop it?", you know something is wrong.

I took it last semester. Most definitely a trap - Smola is one of those guys who's just too smart to teach. Great material - terrible instruction.

GPS can be used on board to do low earth orbit determination.

I've been working on apps where packaged themes don't quite cut it due to UI requirements. I've never had technical trouble implementing ideas, but my layouts, colors, and general …

I've been on Dvorak for 6 years now, and would call myself a vim power user. Never had an issue, but that might be because I can switch between qwerty and dvorak with ease (I use b…

His method is a bit more complex, but you eventually need to describe how different frequencies change the characteristics of a system. Initially, it's nice to see impedance in ter…

Let's not forget Deep Impact. Flew past two asteroids, and even threw something into the first one while taking pictures (with an incredible autonavigation system). Pretty awesome …

I work at NASA, and I like to think that I have a personality...in fact, the center I work at is incredibly relaxed and basically has a collegiate atmosphere.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good book about computer architecture. I program small-scale stuff on my own, but never had to learn any of the details about wha…
