Review of Research on Xavier -------------------------------------- All Weh7220 25thJan95 Since we are still near the start of the semester, we shall use this weeks talk to review the research being done with Xavier and to discuss whats happening / expected patterns of usage for Xavier throughout the semester. So, from the research page off xavier's web location, we have ---------------------------------------------------------- * Explanation-based Learning from Mobile Robot Perception Tom M. Mitchell, Joseph O'Sullivan, and Sebastian Thrun. * Becoming Increasingly Reliable Reid Simmons. * Meta Level Planning Rich Goodwin. * Integrating Prodigy Karen Haigh. * Probabilistic Position Estimation Lonnie Chrisman and Sven Koenig. * Elevator Riding Soshi Iba. * Computing Goal Locations from Place Codes Dave Touretzky and David Redish. * Dead reckoning error compensation Henry Schneiderman. ----------------------------------------------------------- At the meeting, we'll find out which of these are being carried on Xavier this semester, probably including... Probabilistic Navigation, Learning Landmarks, the unarrived Arm, Leaving the 5th Floor, and whatever I don't know about. (These will be teasers for forthcoming talks this semester...)
