Accomplishments:

• Added approaching information to agent percepts, so it can now be used in triggers
• Added speed of approach information to agent percepts; the accuracy is a bit bad, and I think this is related to the threading issues. Timestamps on the data coming out of FI3RST would probably also help.

Problems:

• I can try to make everything episodic; I have a couple of ideas to try out. I’m guessing something simply time-based will work. PerceptManager can calculate these.
• Agree with Dr. Y that we should probably go ahead and start using UDP for communication. Can try and add this to the python version now, or we can integrate it in 1.0. I’m concerned that we really just need to get working on 1.0 at this point.

I really think we should start work on 1.0, at least for BEHAVE. There are issues to address still, but I think we have to start work on the new version if we’re going to have it done or mostly done before GDC.
