  What's cool here other than the fact that it seems to react really quickly is that it has no universal conception of location, like GPS.

Nit-picky robotics engineer chiming in: it's not reactive. The planning is done ahead of time, and they expect there to be no dynamic obstacles in the environment.

D'oh! That's not what I meant to imply. Should have made that clearer.
