Integrating asymptotically-optimal path planning with local optimization

open access: yesCoRR, 2017
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 ...

Application research on improved artificial potential field method in three-dimensional path planning for UAV formation

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan
Rational path planning becomes particularly crucial when unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)formations interact with complex real-world environments. The artificial potential field method exists some drawbacks, such as unreachable target points and local ...

Hierarchical Vision-Motion Planning with Uncertainty:

open access: yes, 1992
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.

Microstructure, Thermal Transport, and Dry‐Sliding Tribology of Powder‐Metallurgy Al7075 Composites Reinforced With Sol–Gel‐Derived ZnO–rGO Hybrid Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
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 ...

The potential of public participation geographic information systems in UK environmental planning: Appraisals by active publics

open access: yes, 2002
The paper draws on an empirical study of two workshops in which the issues that arise from the use of geographic information systems (GIS) as a planning tool in public participation settings were explored by local residents who take an active interest in

Control of Polarization and Polar Helicity in BiFeO3 by Epitaxial Strain and Interfacial Chemistry

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
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

open access: yes, 1999
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.

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
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 ...
