Fast Navigating Guessing Robots
holy_calamity writes "A new navigation technique for robots allows them to make predictions about what's around the corner based on where they've been already. It works well in repetitive environments like office buildings. If this were a Japanese project I'd say it'd be useful for robotic secretaries new on the job, but since it's an American one I suppose it'll be used for automated SWAT teams."
The LAPD heard about this technology, and was very excited. But they want the code changed to "last corner Mexican, next corner black, come out swinging your riot baton."
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
