Milestone Report

Typical obstacle-recognition systems on mobile robots use stereo-vision or laser ranging to perform classification. The Yeti Robot, a robot designed to perform medium range autonomous traverses in Antarctica and Greenland, is not currently equipped with vision or LADAR, but has a proprioceptive sensor suite including 6-axis IMU, wheel encoders, wheel motor current, and GPS. The purpose of this ...

Tom Hurlbutt Milestone #2

This paper presents the current progress of my research, focusing on the testing and evaluation of my prototype. After discussing the believed benefits of the interaction technique, discussion will be given to the proposed evaluation plan to test for these perceived benefits. Discussion will also be given to the current status of the development of the prototype and to how the development of th...

Climate milestone looms

from drought in some regions that is leading to a loss of livestock and the country, which comprises large regions of desert, is highly vulnerable to any reduction in rainfall as a result of climate change for the maintenance of its population. Globally, the journal issue highlights the fact of more than 80 million unintended pregnancies each year — which shows there is already a large unmet ne...

Project Milestone #2

I am interested in combining and parallelizing multiple search techniques. For my class project, I am combining portfolio-based DPLL SAT solving with Hyperresolution. Specifically, I am building on top of a system started by Erik Zawadzki and myself; I am incorporating our highly parallel DPLL+Resolution code into the relatively untried portfolio-based parallel solver called ManySAT [7], which ...
