article in NS about the Purdue guessing robot navigators...

I think I get a toljaso on this one --- if the architecture were composed of
modules that did CBR, each in its own language, from the very start, this
I don't know what algorithms are being referred to in this article -
perhaps a type of monte carlo localization. Does anyone have more
direct references? Also it's only in 2D, which is normal for laser
based mapping.
It's unlikely that we'll see products based on this sort of technology
You could probably buy 10 cheap webcams and put them all around the robot
and get some vision algorithms to turn them into 3D scenes, which are
avoided/mapped? This seems like a pretty well understood and constrained
problem.
It also sounds like a lot of robot perception work on object

People that can't, either don't know much about the principles they use to

Just been looking at the vids. of last year's AGI conference. One thing
really hit me from the panel talk - and that was: but, of course, only
open-source AGI will ever work. Sorry, but all these ideas of individual
systems, produced by teams of - what? - say, twenty individuals at most -

Open source vs closed source is one of the most difficult decisions I faced
in my entire AGI career.
I've always championed open source AND for-profit, which is the
middleground of open-free and closed-commercial, though it may seem like
a contradiction. Sometimes I think it may work in a
Mind you, the free/commercial and closed/open-source decisions are separate
ones. They're strategic decisions; there's nothing about the problem that
intrinsically requires either, it's a matter of coming up with a strategy
that can let the participants pay the rent while they work on the
