A practical autonomous path planner for turn-of-the-century planetary microrovers [PDF]
, 1999 With the success of Mars Pathfinder's Sojourner rover, a new era of planetary exploration has opened, with demand for highly capable mobile robots. These robots must be able to traverse long distances over rough, unknown terrain autonomously, under ...

Analysing policy success and failure in Australia: Pink batts and set‐top boxes
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines two Australian government programs from the Rudd/Gillard Labor government, the Home Insulation Program (HIP) and the Digital Switchover Household Assistance Scheme (HAS). Both became shibboleths of the Labor government's perceived waste and incompetence.

When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Multi-scale path planning for a planetary exploration vehicle with multiple locomotion modes [PDF]
, 2018 Planetary exploration vehicles (rovers) can encounter with a great variety of situations. Most of them are related to the terrain, which can cause the end of the mission if these vehicles are not able to traverse it.

Structure augmented monocular saliency for planetary rovers
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2017 This paper proposes a novel object detection method based on the visual saliency model in order to reliably detect objects such as rocks from single monocular planetary images. The algorithm takes advantage of the relatively homogeneous and distinct albedos present in planetary environments such as Mars or the Moon to extract a Digital Terrain Model of

History, EarlyView.Abstract Examining sport alongside race, media and imperial power opens a rich field for understanding how macro‐level ideologies are shaped and circulated through everyday cultural forms. In twentieth‐century Britain, mass media framed and distributed narratives that rendered the empire's political realities intelligible to a broad public.
