A novel approach to investigate temperature field evolution of water lubricated stern bearings (WLSBs) under hydrodynamic lubrication

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2021
Water lubricated stern bearings (WLSBs) are the critical component of ship propulsion system and have important effect on navigation safety. Operating temperature plays a main role on the performance of WLSBs. This paper aims to investigate the effect of

Bearing-only SLAM : a vision-based navigation system for autonomous robots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
To navigate successfully in a previously unexplored environment, a mobile robot must be able to estimate the spatial relationships of the objects of interest accurately. A Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) sys- tem employs its sensors to build

Mobile Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty for Valgus Knee Osteoarthritis with Permanent Patellar Dislocation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

open access: yesCase Reports in Orthopedics, 2017
Permanent patellar dislocation with tibiofemoral joint osteoarthritis is a relatively rare condition. To treat this condition, total knee arthroplasty with proximal or distal realignment of the extensor mechanism has been reported.

A model of head direction and landmark coding in complex environments.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2021
Environmental information is required to stabilize estimates of head direction (HD) based on angular path integration. However, it is unclear how this happens in real-world (visually complex) environments.

A Novel Cooperative Navigation Algorithm Based on Factor Graph and Lie Group for AUVs

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Traditional cooperative navigation algorithms for multiple AUVs are typically designed for a single specific configuration, such as parallel or leader-slave. This paper proposes a novel cooperative navigation algorithm based on factor graph and Lie group

Robust Stereo Visual Inertial Navigation System Based on Multi-Stage Outlier Removal in Dynamic Environments

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Robotic mapping and odometry are the primary competencies of a navigation system for an autonomous mobile robot. However, the state estimation of the robot typically mixes with a drift over time, and its accuracy is degraded critically when using only ...
