		--------------------------------------
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...)
