I like to have a clean setup because there are so many small parts and a lot of cables on a drone. We need some space inside the frame for the Raspberry Pi and for the battery so with some zip-ties I am holding wires. This way they require less space and we won't have a "kabe...
Today is the twentieth anniversary of the publication of Warren Berger’s Wired article Lost In Space. It’s about Chiat/Day’s bold experiment in 1994 to build a virtual office space. The story is a great read about the pitfalls of the open plan office which thankfully no one builds any...
If you’re familiar with theAnki Cozmo robot, you already have a sense of what Vector looks like. Standing around three inches high, it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It has little treads for motoring around a small space, but you’ll probably want to make that spa...
As for Jia, fill this space with happy sighs for our brilliant, take-no-prisoners girl. I was grinning like a loon when she revealed herself as President Jo, and I knew it wasreally, irrevocably game over when he called her to sit next to him—that’s the moment his forgiveness is c...
There are times, though, when you want the URL to re-write to either have a non-ASP.NET file extension (for example: .jpg, .gif, or .htm) or no file-extension at all. For example, we might want to expose these URLs as our public catalog pages (note they have no .aspx extension...
AEs preserve important information while simplifying later modelling efforts by lowering the dimensions of the input they compress into a lower-dimensional latent space [136]. • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): The capacity of CNNs to efficiently extract spatial patterns and features from the...
The essence of this algorithm is maintaining all the observation and space constraints between observations, then using the maximum likelihood method to estimate the pose of the robot. Better mapping results can be obtained in large-scale scenes using the global optimization method. Appl. Sci. 2018...
Miniaturized propulsion technology for space systems has relied heavily on low- specific-impulse and low-thrust technologies. However, the propulsion system for SphereX would require producing a thrust greater than its weight in order to perform ballistic hopping on the surface of the moon and Mars....
In land mode, the openable shells opened and the robot walked using the four legs. Restricted by the narrow load space and limited power resources of the small-scale robot, the robotic electronic system was fabricated around an embedded computer (Xilinx XC7Z045 SoC, 512 MB DDR3 memory, Linux...
