BP-RRT: Barrier Pair Synthesis for Temporal Logic Motion Planning [PDF]
IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2020 For a nonlinear system (e.g. a robot) with its continuous state space trajectories constrained by a linear temporal logic specification, the synthesis of a low-level controller for mission execution often results in a non-convex optimization problem.

Tree Detection and Diameter Estimation Based on Deep Learning [PDF]
Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2022 Tree perception is an essential building block toward autonomous forestry operations. Current developments generally consider input data from lidar sensors to solve forest navigation, tree detection and diameter estimation problems, whereas cameras ...

Tree rows in temperate agroforestry croplands alter the composition of soil bacterial communities
PLoS ONE, 2021 Background Tree-based intercropping (agroforestry) has been advocated to reduce adverse environmental impacts of conventional arable cropping. Modern agroforestry systems in the temperate zone are alley-cropping systems that combine rows of fast-growing ...

Field Measurements of Tree Dynamics with Accelerometers
Forests, 2022 A comprehensive understanding of the dynamic behavior of a tree can play a key role in the tree stability analysis. Indeed, through an engineering approach, the living tree can be modeled as a mechanical system and monitored observing its dynamic ...

Biomechanical Analysis of a Growing Rod with Sliding Pedicle Screw System for Early-Onset Scoliosis
Journal of Healthcare Engineering, 2019 Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) remains a challenging condition for which current nonfusion surgeries require iterative lengthening surgeries. A growing rod with sliding pedicle screw system (GRSPSS) was developed to treat spinal deformities without repeated
