New algorithms for trajectory planning and control of fixed-wing 'tailsitter' aircraft are faster and more efficient than traditional quadcopter drones. The algorithms can execute challenging ...

Unlike typical meal planning, where you write down what you plan to eat, reverse meal planning is the habit of writing down ...

According to the environment modeling approach, path planning algorithms of micro-/nanorobots are classified into searching, sampling, and dynamic aspects. The searching path planning algorithms ...

MIT researchers are turning to human intuition to improve planning algorithms. The International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling holds a competition every other year in search of the ...

Researchers are trying to improve automated planners by giving them the benefit of human intuition. By encoding the strategies of high-performing human planners in a machine-readable form, they were ...

Imagine you live in a neighborhood that has long been under-resourced — "redlined" back in the days when such overt discrimination was both legal and encouraged by the federal government, and which ...

When Disneyland debuted its new Genie service late last year, all the talk was about paid Lightning Lanes, which replaced the formerly free FastPass system that allowed guests to skip some lines. With ...

A tailsitter is a fixed-wing aircraft that takes off and lands vertically (it sits on its tail on the landing pad), and then tilts horizontally for forward flight. Faster and more efficient than ...
