Nanoengineered Binetworks in Multifunctional Anionic Block Polymer Mesoblends for Improved Mechanical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoblends consist of a nanostructured polymer into which a second polymer is imbibed with a selective solvent. In this work, a solvent‐templatable pentablock terpolymer possessing a sulfonated midblock is modified with a hydrophilic polymer that is photocrosslinked in situ, yielding a hierarchical binetwork.

Highly smooth and parameter independent obstacle avoidance method for autonomous vehicle with velocity-varying obstacle

PLOS ONE
One of the primary challenges for autonomous vehicle (AV) is planning a collision-free path in dynamic environment. It is a tricky task for achieving high-performance obstacle avoidance with velocity-varying obstacle. To solve this problem, a highly smooth and parameter independent obstacle avoidance method for autonomous vehicle with velocity-varying ...

Bearing-Only Obstacle Avoidance Based on Unknown Input Observer and Angle-Dependent Artificial Potential Field

Sensors, 2018
This paper presents the problem of obstacle avoidance with bearing-only measurements in the case that the obstacle motion is model-free, i.e., its acceleration is absolutely unknown, which cannot be dealt with by the mainstream Kalman-like schemes based ...
