There are several Chrome tricks that can save you hours of busywork, but the browser’s insatiable need for memory remains a problem.

When making mocktails, Gullickson is more concerned with enjoyment than perfection. “Don’t worry about making your drink perfect,” she says. “Worry about making it yours, and if you don’t have a specific ingredient, use what’s in the fridge; that’s okay!

One might encounter a number of frustrating difficulties when trying to numerically solve a difficult nonlinear and nonconvex optimal control problem. In this article I will consider such a difficult problem, that of finding the shortest path between two points through an obstacle field for a well-known model of a wheeled robot. I will examine common issues that arise when trying to solve such a problem numerically (in particular, nonsmoothness of the cost and chattering in the control) and how to address them. Examples help to clarify the concepts. Get all the code here: https://github.com/willem-daniel-esterhuizen/car_OCP 1.1 Outline First, I’ll introduce…

Together, our Louisville testing lab and I have tested more than 100 robot and…
