Potential field based navigation for planetary rovers using internal states [PDF]

, 2008
The work in this paper aims to introduce analysis and applications for the internal state model which is a new model for a swarm of rovers interacting via pair-wise attractive and repulsive potentials.

Aspirations and Apprehensions: Reconciling Youths' Desires and Concerns for a Sustainable Future

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although youth are widely acknowledged as change agents, their full participation is often limited by immediate concerns. This study examines how young people's aspirations shape their engagement with sustainability amid economic, environmental, and social uncertainties. Drawing on a large‐scale international survey (n: 15,076) and multinomial

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Improving Rover Path Planning in Challenging Terrains: A Comparative Study of RRT-Based Algorithms

Robotics
Autonomous planetary rovers require robust path planning over rough 3D terrains, where traditional metrics such as path length, number of nodes, and planning time do not adequately capture path quality.

The History and Ideas of George Herbert Mead's Pragmatism and Its Relevance for Operational Research and Systems Thinkers

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without
