Integrating asymptotically-optimal path planning with local optimization
Many robots operating in unpredictable environments require an online path planning algorithm that can quickly compute high quality paths. Asymptotically optimal planners are capable of finding the optimal path, but can be slow to converge. Local optimisation algorithms are capable of quickly improving a solution, but are not guaranteed to converge to ...

Hierarchical Vision-Motion Planning with Uncertainty:
A new framework of a hierarchical vision-motion planning for a mobile robot under uncertainty is proposed. An optimal plan is generated by twolevel planning: global route selection and local path planning.

Sol–gel‐derived ZnO–rGO hybrid nanoparticles enable Al7075 powder‐metallurgy composites to achieve concurrent gains in hardness and thermal conductivity while markedly lowering friction and wear. The hybrid architecture couples ZnO‐based load support with rGO‐assisted lamellar sliding and heat spreading, revealing a promising route toward lightweight ...

Control of Polarization and Polar Helicity in BiFeO3 by Epitaxial Strain and Interfacial Chemistry
In BiFeO3 thin films, the interplay of interfacial chemistry, electrostatics, and epitaxial strain is engineered to stabilize homohelicity in polarization textures at the domain scale. The synergistic use of a Bi2O2‐terminated Aurivillius buffer layer and a highly anisotropic compressive epitaxial strain offers new routes to control the polar‐texture ...

Ferroelectricity in Antiferromagnetic Wurtzite Nitrides
We establish MnSiN2${\rm MnSiN}_2$ and MnGeN2${\rm MnGeN}_2$ as aristotypes of a new multiferroic wurtzite family that simultaneously exhibits ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism with altermagnetic spin splitting. By strategically substituting alkaline‐earth metals, we predict new materials with coexisting switchable polarization, spin texture, and

Evolutionary approaches to robot path planning
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The ultimate goal in robotics is to create machines which are more independent and rely less on humans to guide them in their operation.

Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...
