Exploring haptic interfacing with a mobile robot without visual feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Search and rescue scenarios are often complicated by low or no visibility conditions. The lack of visual feedback hampers orientation and causes significant stress for human rescue workers. The Guardians project [1] pioneered a group of autonomous mobile

An assay to investigate factors influencing initial orientation in nocturnally fledging seabirds

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2021
The first solitary migration of juvenile birds is difficult to study because of a low juvenile survival rates and sometimes long delays in return to the breeding grounds.

Speedy bearings to slacked steering: Mapping the navigation patterns and motions of Viking voyages

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
Viking sailors ruled the North Atlantic Ocean for about three hundred years. Their main sailing route was the 60° 21’ 55’’ latitude between Norway and Greenland. Although they did not have a magnetic compass, in sunshine they used a sun-compass to determine the geographical north (solar Viking navigation: SVN).

Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Using Combined Computed Tomography-Based and Image-Free Navigation System

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2017
For opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), it is recommended that the osteotomy line is parallel to the medial tibial posterior slope (TPS) in the sagittal view and that the alignments are simultaneously controlled in the coronal and sagittal views.

Application of response reconstruction method of wing box structure based on neural network

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan, 2023
It is of great practical significance for real-time health monitoring to reconstruct other position responses by using limited measuring point information of wing box structure in complex navigation with harsh bearing conditions.

In-Lab Demonstration of an Underwater Acoustic Spiral Source

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Underwater acoustic spiral sources can generate spiral acoustic fields where the phase depends on the bearing angle. This allows estimating the bearing angle of a single hydrophone relative to a single source and implementing localization equipment, e.g.,

A Decision Support System Using Fuzzy Logic for Collision Avoidance in Multi-Vessel Situations at Sea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The increasing traffic and complexity of navigation at sea require advanced decision support systems to ensure greater safety. In this study, we propose a novel decision support system that employs fuzzy logic to improve situational awareness and to ...
