NASA - 2011 NIAC Phase I Selections - 7 views

  •  
    very nice selection of projects by NIAC!! there are at least some who have European partners as it looks like ... lets still see if we can get involved ...
  •  
    Interesting. Is it NASA's equivalent of ESA's GSP?
  •  
    It is a good thing NIAC is alive again. Wie, Bong -> "Optimal Dispersion of Near-Earth Objects" . I wonder what it is?

    new open source tool from google .... Francesco: of any interest to us?
  •  
    I don't think so, it is just a code optimizer for JavaScript, unless there are somewhere big JavaScript (web2.0) applications running that is not of much interest for us Other google labs systems e.g. FriendConnect could be useful for Ariadnet, maybe also the visualization and social graph API

Speeding swarms of sensor robots - 2 views

  • the algorithm is designed for robots that will be monitoring an environment for long periods of time, tracing the same routes over and over. It assumes that the data of interest — temperature, the concentration of chemicals, the presence of organisms — fluctuate at different rates in different parts of the environment.
  • But it turns out to be a monstrously complex calculation. “It’s very hard to come up with a mathematical proof that you can really optimize the acquired knowledge,”
  • The new algorithm then determines a trajectory for the sensor that will maximize the amount of data it collects in high-priority regions, without neglecting lower-priority regions.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • At the moment, the algorithm depends on either some antecedent estimate of rates of change for an environment or researchers’ prioritization of regions. But in principle, a robotic sensor should be able to deduce rates of change from its own measurements, and the MIT researchers are currently working to modify the algorithm so that it can revise its own computations in light of new evidence. “
