Learning Approach to Efficient Vision-based Active Tracking of a Flying Target by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Autonomous tracking of flying aerial objects has important civilian and defense applications, ranging from search and rescue to counter-unmanned aerial systems (counter-UAS). Ground based tracking requires setting up infrastructure, could be range limited, and may not be feasible in remote areas, crowded cities or in dense vegetation areas. Vision based active tracking of aerial objects from another airborne vehicle, e.g., a chaser unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), promises to fill this important …

Little one has reached an interesting stage of personal hygiene. She wants to shower instead of taking baths, but can't do it fully by herself.
So i have to poke my head and arms around the shower curtain, soap up her head, rinse her hair without getting water in her eyes, and try not to get myself completely drenched in the process or fling too much water around the bathroom.

Turns out life doesn’t just imitate art
— sometimes it borrows the script, reboots it with National Guard checkpoints and streams it live from Los Angeles.
Case in point:
A Day Without a Mexican,
the cheeky 2004 sci-fi satire from Mexican filmmakers Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi,
in which California wakes up to find every person of Latino descent has vanished into a mysterious haze,
leaving Angelenos panicking over who’s going to mow the lawns and run …

The Outrageous 20-Year-Old Movie That Predicted Trump’s America
In 2004 ‘A Day Without a Mexican’ was intended to be a political satire. In 2025 it seems all too real. Plus, Joel Grey auctions off his old lederhosen (and some nudes!) TikTok star Khaby Lame demands $1.2 million to talk, and Chet Hanks is a no-show at his book reading.

I don't think we should always have to include the "upswing" in struggles we share
When you're in the shit of it & all you hear is upswing, you can feel more alone—that you need to "suck it up/be positive." And I find that toxic
Still, I have BIG feelings about sharing my suck with so little upswing
...cause I'm a hypocritical asshole when it comes to myself🙃

Picked up a copy of Sen. McMorrow's new book at AADL tonight!
Thanks to everyone who had an N95 on. Had a feeling an Ann Arbor crowd would be good for that – it was very refreshing and I'm sure the library staff appreciated it as much as I did

Optimization of Flying Ad Hoc Network Topology and Collaborative Path Planning for Multiple UAVs
Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play a vital role in monitoring and data collection in wide area environments with harsh conditions. In most scenarios, issues such as real-time data retrieval and real-time UAV positioning are often disregarded, essentially neglecting the communication constraints. In this paper, we comprehensively address both the coverage of the target area and the data transmission capabilities of the flying ad hoc network (FANET). The data throughput of the network …
