TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.

TL;DR: Boss is an autonomous vehicle that uses on-board sensors to track other vehicles, detect static obstacles, and localize itself relative to a road model using a spiral system development process with a heavy emphasis on regular, regressive system testing.

Optimal Rough Terrain Trajectory Generation for Wheeled Mobile Robots
Thomas M. Howard,Alonzo Kelly +1 more
TL;DR: An algorithm is presented for wheeled mobile robot trajectory generation that achieves a high degree of generality and efficiency and is efficient enough to use in real time due to its use of nonlinear programming techniques that involve searching the space of parameterized vehicle controls.
Journal IssueDOI
Motion planning in urban environments
TL;DR: This approach combines a model-predictive trajectory generation algorithm for computing dynamically feasible actions with two higher level planners for generating long-range plans in both on-road and unstructured areas of the environment.
Journal IssueDOI
State space sampling of feasible motions for high-performance mobile robot navigation in complex environments
TL;DR: An effective algorithm for state space sampling utilizing a model-based trajectory generation approach is presented that enables high-speed navigation in highly constrained and-or partially known environments such as trails, roadways, and dense off-road obstacle fields.
