Do you find yourself in any of these situations? :)

It is common to argue that intellectual property in the form of copyright and patent is necessary for the innovation and creation of ideas and inventions such as machines, drugs, computer software, books, music, literature and movies. In fact intellectual property is a government grant of a costly and dangerous private monopoly over ideas. We show through theory and example that intellectual monopoly is not necessary for innovation and as a practical matter is damaging to growth, prosperity and liberty.

The tangent bug algorithm is actually the imroved version of Bug1 and Bug2 algorithms. Unlike these methods, tangent bug algorithm depends on the existence of a range sensor that is mounted on the point robot in the map. By only investigating the output ot this range sensor, and including the knowledge of the robot's current pose and goal's pose, the robot plans actions to reach to the goal.

This web page consists of information about the tangent bug algorithm and its implementation.

This course is a seminar-style hands-on survey of approaches to control and learning in single and multi-robot systems. We will read original seminal papers that track the development of the field and overview the different state-of-the-art approaches to mobile robot control, including reactive, hybrid, and behavior-based based systems. The discussion will focus on the issues of resolving the fundamental conflict between thinking and acting, i.e., high-level deliberation and real-time control. Different approaches and robot control architectures for addressing this issue will be covered and discussed. In the second part of the course we will discuss scaling up robot control to multi-robot systems and swarms of robots. The control architectures discussed in the first part of the semester will be revisited in the context of scaling up to distributed systems. Finally, we will address adaptation and learning in single and multi-robot systems, and deal with the many challenges those problems present. Several other relevant topics will be covered at least briefly, including biological inspirations for robot control and philosophical foundations. All topics will be illustrated with implemented systems and demonstrated with videos.

Course Description

Recent years have seen a great increase in the volume of research conducted into multi-robot systems. This course covers the state-of-the-art in control and synthesis techniques for multi-robot systems. Starting initially from motivations and definitions, students will study several important coordination methods and the ideas that have inspired them. The course balances study of fielded systems and applications with analysis of algorithms and formalisms. Students will use physical robots to design, implement and demonstrate multi-robot controllers.

GTD—or “Getting things done”—is a framework for organizing and tracking your tasks and projects. Its aim is a bit higher than just “getting things done”, though. (It should have been called “Getting things done in a much better way than just letting things happen, which often turns out not to be very cool at all”.) Its aim is to make you have 100% trust in a system for collecting tasks, ideas, and projects—both vague things like “invent greatest thing ever” and concrete things like “call Ada 25 August to discuss cheesecake recipe”. Everything!

Sound like all other run-of-the-mill to-do list systems, you say? Well in many ways it is, but there is more to it, and it’s really simple. Promise! So please read on.
