From Manoeuvre Assistance to Manoeuvre Automation
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019 Abstract One of the greatest challenges in shipping automation is the automatic manoeuvring in areas with high safety standards which are executed today exclusively by nautical officers with appropriate expertise. Precise manoeuvre plans and suitable control solutions are missing because the human operators act according their mental ...

A first approach to understanding and measuring naturalness in driver-car interaction [PDF]
, 2014 With technology changing the nature of the driving task, qualitative methods can help designers understand and measure driver-car interaction naturalness. Fifteen drivers were interviewed at length in their own parked cars using ethnographically-inspired

The liver hanging manoeuvre [PDF]
HPB, 2009 The liver hanging manoeuvre (LHM) facilitates the anterior approach (AA), which is one of the most important innovations in the field of major hepatic resections. The AA confers some definite advantages over the classical approach, in that it provides for: less haemorrhage; less tumoral manipulation and rupture; better haemodynamic stability by ...

Wave effects on the turning ability of an ultra large container ship in shallow water [PDF]
, 2019 The influence of waves on ship behaviour can lead to hazardous scenarios which put at risk the ship, the crew and the surroundings. For this reason, investigating the effect of waves on manoeuvring is of relevant interest.

An analysis of manoeuvring in dense crowds [PDF]
Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games, 2015 In high-density crowds, one can observe torso twists; people rotatetheir upper body to decrease their width perpendicular to the motionpath, in order to squeeze through narrow spaces between othercrowd members. In this paper we investigate such behaviour, byrecording and analysing dense crowds.

Manoeuvrability assessment of a hybrid compound helicopter configuration [PDF]
, 2014 The compound helicopter design could potentially satisfy the new emerging requirements placed on the next generation of rotorcraft. The main benefit of the compound helicopter is its ability to reach speeds that significantly surpass the conventional ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
