It started off fairly easy, but then got grueling. Somehow I made it through...Robotics: Udacity CS373 - Programming A Robotic Car - Week 3/Unit 3http://www.phoenixgarage.org/show_article/159http://www.phoenixgarage.org/show_article/159Sun, 06 May 2012 21:50:40 -0700Well, another week down, another unit done, and more homework behind me. This week's topic was all about another localization method called "particle filters". Using such a filter and a map with "landmarks", your robot can quickly and easily locate itself within that map. What's more, the amount of code required to implement such a filter isn't much, and what does exist is fairly easy to understand.
