Combining Teleoperation with Autonomy

Combining Teleoperation with Autonomy 07/23/2004 06:17 PM
The CMU Robotics Institute has published a thesis by Jonathon Brookshire titled "Enhancing Multi-Robot Coordinated Teams with Sliding Autonomy" (PDF format). The paper describes experiments in combining robot teleoperation with autonomy. The resulting robots have "sliding autonomy" in which some operations are contolled autonomously by the robot and others are controlled remotely by a human operator. This concept is then combined with coordinated teams of robots allowing the team to leverage the unique skills of both the human operators and each robot.

Combining XML Documents with XInclude

Combining XML Documents with XInclude 04/26/2004 10:59 PM
The spirit of modular programming dictates that you break your tasks up into small manageable chunks. This dictum is as also applicable when producing XML documents. It often makes sense to build a large document from several smaller ones. Some situations that call for this chunking include composing a single book out of multiple chapters, building a Web page out of separately maintained documents, or adding a standard footer such as a corporate disclaimer into document.

Combining Quicklinks and Posts

Combining Quicklinks and Posts 01/07/2004 04:42 PM

Integrated Quicklinks Tutorial: This is a handy thing. I've always been tormented (high drama here) with the disparity between post styles. Some are long manifestos, and some are just a quick link.

...here's a brief tutorial for MoveableType on combining regular weblog entries with quicklinks (basically, entries from two blogs each using a different template) into one column.

I've thought about doing what he proposes here and not even having permalink pages for small posts. This all goes back to my theory about the value of URL real estate.

Good stuff and bad stuff

Good stuff and bad stuff 02/12/2004 07:25 PM
The bad stuff first: The wireless connection here sucks. It sucks less today than previously, but it is still bad. The other thing is that there are far too few power strips available, and I've on several occasions had my laptop die on me.

But the cool stuff just continues: Programmable matter and quantum dots by Wil McCarthy just blew me (and probably everyone else) away with the visions of windows that move according to sunlight, wires that grow inside the walls as needed, walls that can produce any sort of light at command, quantum wells and artifical atoms, but especially the palm-sized, paper-thin über-PDA, which does *everything*, including cooling your drinks. And it all works on "ambient energy" - harvesting stray photons, sound and movement. When any physical object can have any functionality you desire, you get into some pretty interesting scenarios...

High sci-fi, mindblowing stuff - but the theory says it should work.

Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down

Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down 04/22/2004 10:44 AM
There are many reasons I love the Internet, but the fact that weblogs like Louise Garston's exist would have to be one of them. "Nice cup of tea and a sit down" is the Internet hub for cake, tea, and biscuits. That's it. Period. Simple. It's totally sincere and sweet, and full of breaking news about which flavor of jam is most popular for discriminating toast aficionados, newly resurrected teas, and so on. Sometimes, Louise posts tea-and-biscuit related art, like a portrait of "Two little old space-alien ladies having a nice sit down." At present, Louise is pretty worked up about the fact that the "iconic" biscuit known as Tim Tams have recently become available to UK consumers, after a long and ardurous struggle. "Tescos sell them now," says Louise. "Hooray, you have to tell everyone, they're fantastic! Enjoy!"

One of the things collectors are always asking about are more playsets. Friend to Rebelscum and top notch customizer Steve Ceragioli gives us a glimpse of what 'could be' with his take on the vintage Dagobah playset from The Empire Strikes Back line. Considering how nice the upcoming Dagobah wave looks, we feel it's hightime Hasbro gives serious consideration to a few of these great playsets from the past.

It's all in accordance with Adaptive Path's license, which allows commercial redistribution.

Another cool thing was seeing Blogcritics.org do a "featured content of the week" type feature we've done in the past here. Phillip Winn found eight amazing photos at Flickr, and posted links to check them out, all available under Creative Commons licenses.

What a Nice Day

What a Nice Day 12/16/2002 12:12 PM
It is really snowing hard outside. But it's not quite cold enough for it to accumulate to anything significant. I only wish I had a camera to capture it, this one, specifically. With U2 playing in the background, and no real plans for today, it's really a nice morning. If you've come here from Stonefishspine, welcome. If you haven't, you're okay too. Over the weekend I spent a lot of time collaborating (coblogerating?) with G.K. Nelson of Stonefishspine on a new kind of commenting system to integrate with pMachine, a blogging (Content Management) system. I'm very happy with the end result. If you'd like to see it, head over to Stonefishspine and click on one of the "Comments" link under any entry. The system uses one part PHP, and two parts DOM-compatible Javascript. The whole thing only required about four lines of additional code added to pMachine, on top of its own files, which aren't too large. If it doesn't work for you, its likely because your web browser has lack-luster (I've never actually typed that phrase before) support for the Javascript DOM. So far, GK and I have confirmed that IE6/Win, Mozilla Win/Mac, and Opera 7 handle the system just fine. IE/Mac doesn't seem to like it, though; I'm working on it. From my coding perspective, two things were crucial in designing the sytem. One, if the user's browser didn't support the Javascript DOM, they would still be able to comment, via a popup window. For example, try to comment in Opera 6 and you'll get the standard commenting popup window which can see the same comments the dynamic version does. This brings me to the second important point, pMachine compatibility. I determined early on that if I was going to make the system work fluidly with pMachine, I would a.) have to do a lot of coding, or b.) figure out a way to make it work with pMachines existing infrastructure. In the case of the former, compatibility may have been lost in the next pMachine release. However, because of how pMachine is designed, I was able to use the latter approach. Because of this we were able to complete the project in just over a day and a half, instead of a week I think it would of taken if I had to make it interact is pMachines database system, which would of involved talking to three different tables. Because of this simple interaction with pMachine, the whole system would be easily ported to other people's installations of pMachine. Likely, at some point in the future when all the bugs are worked out, the entire system will be available to anyone who wants it. I may even have to enable commenting on my installation of pMachine to take advantage of the system. :)

bittorrent is nice, but...

bittorrent is nice, but... 01/08/2004 08:18 PM

...there's always a 'but' isn't there?

I had attempted to use BitTorrent a couple of times before, but never spent more than a few minutes with it, not enough to understand what was going on. Yesterday night though, I gave it a little more time and some tips from Russ and Matt I could get it going. I had to adjust some settings, such as the bandwidth allocated for uploads, which defaulted at 12 KB/sec and immediately started to suck up my entire upload capability (I set it at 7 KB/sec). I chose a couple of files (three actually) and let it download overnight. This morning, things were well on their way, two files done, the remaining one halfway through. But then it hit me: my transfers are limited!

I have a 4GB transfer limit (as it's common here in Ireland) on my DSL connection. So now I have downloaded, in one day, over 1.5 GB of data, and still have 1 GB to go. Then, there's the uploaded data, which also counts. EEk! By the time the second transfer is finished I will have spent over 75% of my monthly bandwidth allotment. With 60% of the month still to go!

Damn. I want to go back to my good old days of DSL in the Bay Area, where I had a symmetric 768 KB/sec DSL connection, with no transfer limits, at $40 a month. Okay, that's not realistic. :) But on the other hand, until transfer limits are removed (or at least raised) here, I won't be able to do much with BitTorrent. Too bad.

And, btw, this clearly has to have an impact on broadband usage. Forget about BitTorrent specifically, other types of media transfers are also quite heavy, and having that sword hanging over your neck (the sword being whatever they charge per megabyte after you cross the transfer limit) users will be more likely to treat broadband as a kind of always-on modem, rather than as true broadband. Ireland is great, for technology in particular, but it definitely needs some serious improvements to both infrastructure and access to that infrastructure (see my post on mobile handset costs yesterday) to be truly competitive. There's a qualitative jump (both on the supplier and the consumer side of a market) that happens when connectivity is pervasive, always-on, fast, and relatively inexpensive, and Ireland isn't there yet. Here's hoping we won't have to wait much longer.

I was looking at an old blog entry here when I was surprised to find my first trackback spam. Free asian rape beastiality being offered directly from an old post! Then I dug around and sure enough, there were over 200 spammy trackbacks sent from January 5th through the 20th.

What's funny about it is that I can see how someone built and tweaked their spam cannon. On Jan 5, a person started at (probably using it as an open proxy) 24.247.37.201.up.mi.chartermi.net and sent a couple test pings of gibberish, then when they realized it worked, they waited eight hours for me to delete them. When I didn't delete anything the onslaught began, and over the course of three attacks, hundreds of old entries advertised all sorts of crap sites.

I read the recent interview with a link spammer and it sucks that people stoop to doing anything for a buck. So, instead of worrying about this any longer or having to check off 200+ delete boxes again, I turned off trackbacks. See you in hell, mr. jackass seo spammer who will never read this nor care.
