Gordon Wyeth from the University of Queensland once implemented a 100 point particle filter onboard the NXT.
There was also a video showing a NXT equipped with 3 sonar sensors running several times in a square - but this video is missing and lost without trace since a long time to my observation.
Gordon Wyeth also provided lots of interesting details about his program on this related website.

Does anybody know a forgotten or concealed link?

Check out the waybackmachine website (http://web.archive.org/web/200910010000 ... wyeth/NXT/) a few hits for this subject, here is the first -

Lots of 'nxt particle filter' hits on youtube, don't know if any are the particular one you are seeking.

Got it!!

This was exactly the website I've been looking for since a long time! The movies are provided in 4 links for download (Windows/Mac).

Thank you SO much!

That is so amazing. I hope SLAM will be doable on 300Mhz

what is "SLAM"?

ahh, thx.
Then why not, I got no doubt: Especially if the EV3 is running genuine ARM machine code then 300 MHz (e.g., generated by a MT-capable C compiler) will be more than satisfactory for sure, since both EKF and SMC Filter are already running on (comparatively very slow) byte code interpreters.

Doc, you had better start brushing up on your Linux programming skills then, you'll need it.

• Compiling stuff with gcc
• Debugging things with gdb
• Creating Makefiles
• How to set up a cross compiling environment

Btw, MT programming in Linux is not a piece of cake.

I'm not sure if the platform you mentioned would be the only or at least the best choice.
But I think at least all the NXC-programming >3000 members of the German mindstormsforum are waiting very excited for sort of embbeded C for EV3 featuring a simple and comfortable IDE. Of course a multiple of that in other countries all over the world.

And IIRC, John Hansen has promised to develop a native ARM C compiler environment for the BCC IDE!
(not found his post yet but will report then)

ps.
got it, here it is!
