Discrete Implementations Modify the Intuition of Final Set Adjustment in Barrier Function Based Control

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper establishes an implementation‐aware framework for Barrier Function Adaptation (BFA) and shows that discrete‐time realizations fundamentally alter the logic of final‐set adjustment. In particular, sufficient conditions are derived to preserve the key benefits of BFA (predefined performance, gain adaptation with uncertain perturbation

Usability Heuristics: Friend or Foe in Maritime Navigation Instrument Design?

open access: yes, 2011
The sphere of maritime navigation instruments is regulated by a comprehensive set of standards, including the RADAR and ECDIS performance standards issued by the IMO, and their corresponding IEC test standards. This complex of standards serves to provide

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...
