I'm currently taking Udacity's AI for robotics course and came across a question that stumped me. The problem plays on localization probability given uncertainty in our measurement updates.
The first measurement distribution I was able to solve no problem. Original distribution was [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2]
, multiply greens by 0.1, reds by 0.9, normalize and I get [0.04761904761904762, 0.04761904761904762, 0.4285714285714286, 0.04761904761904762, 0.4285714285714286]
. What's confusing me is how to manage the move. If the world was cyclic, I would just shift all the probabilities to the right by one. But since he says there is a wall blocking the right side...I'm not sure if the fifth element of resulting shifted matrix should be P(red) * P(green) or P(red) + P(green). I've tried both and neither have worked.
Any advice would be appreciated!
