# Now you will put everything together.
#
# First make sure that your sense and move functions
# work as expected for the test cases provided at the
# bottom of the previous two programming assignments.
# Once you are satisfied, copy your sense and move
# definitions into the robot class on this page, BUT
# now include noise.
#
# A good way to include noise in the sense step is to
# add Gaussian noise, centered at zero with variance
# of self.bearing_noise to each bearing. You can do this
# with the command random.gauss(0, self.bearing_noise)
#
# In the move step, you should make sure that your
# actual steering angle is chosen from a Gaussian
# distribution of steering angles. This distribution
# should be centered at the intended steering angle
# with variance of self.steering_noise.
#
# Feel free to use the included set_noise function.
#
# Please do not modify anything except where indicated
# below.

## IMPORTANT: You may uncomment the test cases below to test your code.
## But when you submit this code, your test cases MUST be commented
## out.
##
## You can test whether your particle filter works using the
## function check_output (see test case 2). We will be using a similar
## function. Note: Even for a well-implemented particle filter this
## function occasionally returns False. This is because a particle
## filter is a randomized algorithm. We will be testing your code
## multiple times. Make sure check_output returns True at least 80%
## of the time.


 
## --------
## TEST CASES:
## 
##1) Calling the particle_filter function with the following
##    motions and measurements should return a [x,y,orientation]
##    vector near [x=93.476 y=75.186 orient=5.2664], that is, the
##    robot's true location.
##
#motions = [[2. * pi / 10, 20.] for row in range(8)]
#measurements = [[4.746936, 3.859782, 3.045217, 2.045506],
#                [3.510067, 2.916300, 2.146394, 1.598332],
 #               [2.972469, 2.407489, 1.588474, 1.611094],
  #              [1.906178, 1.193329, 0.619356, 0.807930],
   #             [1.352825, 0.662233, 0.144927, 0.799090],
    #            [0.856150, 0.214590, 5.651497, 1.062401],
     #          [0.194460, 5.660382, 4.761072, 2.471682],

#print particle_filter(motions, measurements)

## 2) You can generate your own test cases by generating
##    measurements using the generate_ground_truth function.
##    It will print the robot's last location when calling it.
