Hidden Markov Models for Robot
Navigation 02/01/2005 10:04 PM
The use of Hidden Markov Models for pattern recognition in robots is discussed in a newly released paper, titled Learning to automatically detect features for mobile robots using second-order Hidden Markov Models (PDF format). Hidden Markov Models have traditionally been used for applications like speech recognition but Richard Washington and his fellow robotics researchers have successfully applied the technique to data from ultrasonic and IR sensors on experimental mobile robots. The robots learned to identified indoor navigational features such as doorways and T-intersections as well as outdoor navigational situations like climbing a hill or crossing over a rock.

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot?

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot? 12/18/2003 12:58 PM
It took years for researchers to figure out how to make a robot be able to stand and walk on two legs. In fact, it's so complicated, that some researchers are giving up on that idea and using Segway balancing technology on their robots instead of legs. However, the folks at Sony seem to have taken the concept of the upright walking robot one step further: they've figured out how to make a robot run. That's right, it actually leaves the ground at points while jogging along. It apparently needs a bit of a walking start to get up to speed, and even at running speed, it's more of a slow jog - where it's feet barely leave the ground. Still, it's a start, and with some more work, they believe they can really make the robot run.

X1 gears up

X1 is the best desktop search engine I've found for Windows. It indexes your email, your contacts, and all the files on your desktop. Want to find that email talks about phlogiston? By the time you've finished typing in "phl," X1 will have found it. I use it maybe 5 times a day. Now X1 is starting to market itself. Good. It's worth the $100 in time savings alone. It's held up well as my email archive has grown to 110,000 messages. And the company has been very responsive to bug reports and enhancement requests. So, go X1! I hope...

Camping Gears

Camping Gears 03/23/2005 10:50 PM

C hris and Ponzi are having a world of pain fun getting camping gears together for Scoble's FU-Camp.  If you are just starting to get into camping, my advise would be to get as little as possible.  Part of camping fun is learning about what you need for the next trip.

If you get too much stuff out of anticipation, you'll waste too much time packing and unpacking.  And chances are, you won't make the second trip until years later.

My list of starter essentials for drive-in camping:

• tent(s) - easier to put up the better.  Make sure the tent is big enough to accomodate air-mattresses.  Don't waist money on hammers and stuff.
• a couple of large tarps - these are useful in many ways.
• sleeping bags - spend most of your money on this.
• air-mattress - I can't live without this.  There are some good ones out there that you can inflate and deflate silently in a few minutes.
• comfortable foldup chairs
• 2 lanterns and 1 flashlight
• an outdoor stove
• lighter and some firestarters
• a water bucket with a good handle
• a large plastic pan
• some thin ropes
• some protection against bugs (I like burning kind).
• ice chest(s)

That's it.  Oh yes, you'll need a bigger car.

As to pots and pans, just take throw aways from your kitchen until you know what you need for your choice of camp food.  And don't touch that glistening wood chopping axe unless you don't mind losing a toe.  Campsites or stores near them have firewood and they burn just fine without chopping them into smaller pieces.

If you enjoy hiking, you would already have the right shoes and cloths.  If you don't, don't get any so you won't have to hike.  When I go camping, I use my 15 year-old pair of sneakers (due to very low mileages logged) and a pair of slippers.  I use the sneakers to drive and unpack.  Then I switch to my 'thinking man's slippers', aka high-on-food gear, and that's that until it's time to pack again and drive away.

GPS Navigation #3

GPS Navigation #3 01/10/2004 06:47 PM
On my first trip with my Garmin navigation system (Model 2610), I got lost within a quarter mile of home. Well, I didn't get lost because that doesn't happen when you have an omniscient navigator. I did manage to make a wrong — unindicated — turn, I think because I was not used to how far away an intersection is when the navigator says that I should turn left in 400 feet. A few seconds after you make the wrong turn, the navigator calmly says that you are "off course" and recalculates the route. As a result, it took me...
