Guidance of Mobile Robot over Distrubted System

[visualPerception]

hey,

I just found this http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/~omcw2/meng/main.pdf after reading through some of it and
seeing it's date is 2000/2001, I am wondering if this is still a good approach to take for designing a mobile
robot to interact with a distributed system. Basically I'm wondering what type of improvements would be
to that project now(2008).

Just looking for some ideas from experts because I'm not.

I didn't read it, but I scanned over the pics and figures.

All of that is considered basic fundamental knowledge to today's technology. I didn't see anything outdated.

I wouldn't take the approach they did though because it's heavy in computation.
