  1. General Version 2 Method

Video 2 [annotated, speed x ~5]

Scenario similar to O. Without ceiling for display purposes. Roma navigates the environment and then makes a prediction (prediction not shown).

  1. Bimodal Search 

Video 3.1 [annotated, speed x 4]
Scenario S. Roma performs general olfactive search followed by specific visual search.

Video 3.2 [speed x 4]
Scenario T. Roma performs general olfactive search followed by specific visual search.

  1. Multiple Airflow Hypothesis Testing 

Roma navigates the environment gathering evidence (and chemical readings) and modifying the confidence values for the set of hypotheses. Hypotheses, hypothesis tree, and GUI are shown.
