Chemsex and the city: sexualised substance use in gay bisexual and other men who have sex with men attending sexual health clinics:
A Hegazi,Ming J. Lee,William Whittaker,S Green,R Simms,R Cutts,Maurice Nagington,B Nathan,Mark Pakianathan +8 more
TL;DR: Chemsex disclosure in sexual health clinics should prompt an opportunity for prevention, health promotion and wellbeing interventions, as it is associated with higher risk-taking behaviours, acute bacterial STIs, rectal STIs and hepatitis C incidence.

Chris Urmson,Joshua Anhalt,Daniel Bartz,Michael Clark,Tugrul Galatali,Alexander Gutierrez,Sam Harbaugh,Josh Johnston,Hiroki “Yu” Kato,Phillip Koon,William C. Messner,Nick Miller,Aaron Mosher,Kevin Peterson,Charlie Ragusa,David Ray,Bryon Smith,Jarrod M. Snider,Spencer Spiker,Josh Struble,Jason Ziglar,William Whittaker +21 more
TL;DR: A robust approach to navigating at high-speed across desert terrain using a combination of LIDAR and RADAR based perception sensors and a human based pre-planning system to improve reliability and robustness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Driving Cars and the Urban Challenge
Chris Urmson,William Whittaker +1 more
TL;DR: The automotive industry stands out as having the most potential for impact when it comes to domains to which intelligent systems can apply intelligent systems.
Analytical configuration of wheeled robotic locomotion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the configuration of wheeled robotic locomotion through the formulation and systematic evaluation of analytical expressions called configuration equations, which capture quantitative relationships among configuration parameters (e.g., wheel diameter, chassis articulation location), performance parameters (i.e., drawbar pull, maximum gradeable slope) and environmental/task parameters (eg soil geophysical properties, density and size of obstacles).
