It does indeed work off of URDFs and streamed sensor data right now. I'd recommend contacting Sean they might be able to accomodate your request.

It can help in the region immediately surrounding the vehicle. The PRM graph that is developed is built with reference to the robot, so if the robot moves around so does its capability to plan.

Yes! That's the paper, sorry about it not being included.

ROS is a good platform for writing software. There are ~50 hardware platforms that support it. Unfortunately robotics is still built to a purpose, and usually a bit too expensive for a typical hobbyist platform. Our latest robot here at Duke was built with modularity in mind and still cost well over 100k.

I know one of the engineers, and he told me that they don't try and get a higher accuracy signal, but a lower deviation of the signal. I forget the exact terminology, but the FAA has a circle that is 99% confidence, and coherent was trying to make the circle smaller than the currently available technology.

Not to mention just 3D printing the key.

You should talk to the guys at Originate. They know how to grab talent. Also, they're pretty open to talking to people and are at quite a few events throughout the nation.

Full disclosure: I used to work at Originate.

SEEKING WORK- Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Houston. Remote work is cool with us.
