Vector Field‐Based Collision‐Free Navigation in Tunnel‐Like Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tunnel‐like environments, renowned for their vast scale, confined spaces, and limited visibility, present significant challenges for autonomous robot navigation. This study addresses the critical issue of guiding robots through such environments while ensuring collision‐free navigation and maintaining a specified safety margin from both tunnel

Efficient and Adaptive Autonomous Guidance and Control of Planetary Rover With Improved Traction Controller and Dynamic Cost Map

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Planetary exploration is rapidly gaining importance within the space research community. Autonomous locomotion of rovers requires consideration of several mobility aspects to ensure safety, including avoiding hazardous areas that can cause the robot to become immobilized in soft soil or damaged in sharp terrains.

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

Distributed Formation Control for Heterogeneous Robot Systems Based on Competitive Mechanism

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive formation control method for a heterogeneous robot swarm, utilising a multilevel formation task tree to model various types of formation tasks and a single‐state distributed k‐winner‐take‐all (S‐DKWTA) algorithm to address the MRTA problem.

Fixed‐Time Zeroing Neural Dynamics for Adaptive Coordination of Multi‐Agent Systems

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive multi‐agent coordination (AMAC) strategy suitable for complex scenarios, which only requires information exchange between neighbouring robots. Unlike traditional multi‐agent coordination methods that are solved by neural dynamics, the proposed strategy displays greater flexibility, adaptability and scalability ...

Dynamic Neural‐Model‐Based Predictive Control for Autonomous Wheel‐Legged Robot System

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mobile wheel‐legged robots exhibiting mobility, stability and reliability have garnered heightened research attention in demanding real‐world scenarios, especially in material transport, emergency response and space exploration. The kinematics model merely delineates the geometric relationship of the controlled objective, disregarding force ...

Flap Anatomies and Victorian Veils: Penetrating the Female Reproductive Interior

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the reappearance in the early nineteenth century of anatomical flapbooks in the context of obstetrical education in Britain, America and France. It asks why liftable paper flaps were reintroduced at this time after their disappearance from medical atlases in the eighteenth century.
