Assistive robots, last-mile delivery, warehouse navigation, and robots in office environments are all applications that require robust robot navigation in dynamic environments. While methods exist for robot navigation sub-tasks, such as localization and mapping, motion planning, and control, current local navigation methods typically must be tuned for each new robot and environment. For example, vision-based navigation typically relies on high-level motion primitives such as "go straight" and "turn left" that abstract away robot dynamics. On the other hand, motion planning handles robot dynamics, but often requires near-perfect sensor observations. 1, record 1, English, - vision%2Dbased%20navigation

La navigation basée sur la vision a atteint une certaine maturité durant ces dernières années grâce à l'utilisation de technologies avancées. Les systèmes de navigation basée sur la vision ont le considérable avantage de pouvoir utiliser directement les informations visuelles présentes dans l'environnement, sans devoir adapter le moindre élément de l'infrastructure. De plus, contrairement aux systèmes utilisant le GPS, ils peuvent être utilisés à l'extérieur ainsi qu'à l'intérieur des locaux et des bâtiments sans aucune perte de précision. 2, record 1, French, - navigation%20bas%C3%A9e%20sur%20la%20vision

Sillage... is a term used to describe a scented trail left by the fragrance wearer. It comes from the French word for "wake, "as in the trail left in the sky by an airplane or on the water by a boat. Sillage defines how fragrance diffuses around the wearer, and a strong sillage means that a fragrance projects well. Sillage has nothing to do with the richness of the composition, however, but rather with the diffusive nature of the materials that go into it. 4, record 4, English, - sillage

The flèche is a running attack executed in the following manner : 1. The arm is extended with opposition, the point directed at the target. 2.

From this position, the arm and shoulder stretch out as far as they will go, the body inclines forward until it is almost off-balance, and the distance is closed with a rush, preventing the opponent from riposting. 5, record 7, English, - fl%C3%A8che

The political terrain on which the environmental debate is conducted today is defined almost entirely by the central premises of the environmental left. The green lobby maintains that ecological resources are by definition public property, or commons, that must be centrally planned and stewarded by bureaucratic agents lest they be recklessly despoiled by industry. Moreover, central planners must not only have nearly complete veto power over private actions that might affect the environment; they must also be empowered to stipulate how much pollution is acceptable and exactly how each business is to go about controlling emissions and even, in some circumstances, how products are manufactured. 2, record 10, English, - green%20lobby

The pool-sweep theory of intelligence. People who have large swimming pools often purchase a device called a pool-sweep, essentially a motorized float with long tentacles that sweep the bottom of a swimming pool. It has to be programmed to the shape of the pool, and then simply is left to do its work. When someone sees a pool-sweep in action for the first time, it looks very smart. It appears to go after the dirt and make its way around the pool as if it were being steered by a little man. It is indeed programmed in the sense that it has been given a set of instructions and it follows them. When we think of something as being programmed we imply that it is in some way intelligent, certainly more intelligent than something that hasn’t been programmed, or that cannot be programmed. People are fooled initially by the pool-sweep, and only see it for what it is after being told that it's just programmed for one pool, and if it were placed in a different pool it wouldn’t work. In a similar way, people can be fooled initially into thinking that computers are really smart of intelligent. 1, record 14, English, - pool%2Dsweep%20theory
