A bit funny (and lazy) they are using the ocean as their coordinate system...

ALSO:
WTH?
a. the video is speed up to make it look like it's game speed, when these things are moving like 1cm/s (in the real clips). That's KIRF
b. why not show a real 30sec game play, instead we see bits and pieces to make it appear "working" (that's Research KIRF).
c. UAVs? I would not trust a ordinance on a UAV that is what? *controlled by a Futaba transceiver*, likely running 2.4Gs... R/C hobby COTS for military stuff... no thanks...]]>Nov 9th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/
Last thing, most people that do real UAV research don't use R/C control (that's not really autonomous). We have on-board autopilots that have a primary 900MHz data link with a backup 2.4GHz link. But even if we lose both, the aircraft will come home and land itself (we have tested this).]]>Nov 9th 2009 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/Nov 9th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/Nov 9th 2009 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/Nov 9th 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/09/autonomous-roombas-do-pac-man-right-video/Nov 9th 2009 1:49PM
