Welcome to "transformation."

This is a peculiar sickness of those in the "Building."

We have executed a couple of robotic vehicle experiments recently. All were funded by DARPA. Some limited success, but DARPA felt dangling a carrot out there might provide some new ideas and technology.

The latest experiments we worked did not do badly, but there are some glitches to overcome. The worst was the inability to process a shadow across the vehicle path by the visual systems. It could not tell the difference between a shadow and a ditch. Combing visual with radar might help. I am sure there will be some imerging technology from this that we will see within the next two years in the form of more experiments.
