Adaptive Human-Aware Robot Navigation in Close Proximity to Humans
For robots to be able coexist with people in future everyday human environments, they must be able to act in a safe, natural and comfortable way. This work addresses the motion of a mobile robot in an environment, where humans potentially want to interact with it. The designed system consists of three main components: a Kalman filter‐ based algorithm that derives a personʹs state ...
متن کاملAcid rain and its ecological consequences.
Acidification of rain-water is identified as one of the most serious environmental problems of transboundary nature. Acid rain is mainly a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids depending upon the relative quantities of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen emissions. Due to the interaction of these acids with other constituents of the atmosphere, protons are released causing increase in the soil acidi...
متن کاملEcological and evolutionary consequences of niche construction for its agent.
Niche construction can generate ecological and evolutionary feedbacks that have been underinvestigated so far. We present an eco-evolutionary model that incorporates the process of niche construction to reveal its effects on the ecology and evolution of the niche-constructing agent. We consider a simple plant-soil nutrient ecosystem in which plants have the ability to increase the input of inor...
متن کاملUsing ecological niche modeling to determine avian richness hotspots
Understanding distributions of wildlife species is a key step towards identifying biodiversity hotspots and designing effective conservation strategies. In this paper, the spatial pattern of diversity of birds in Golestan Province, Iran was estimated. Ecological niche modeling was used to determine distributions of 144 bird species across the province using a maximum entropy algorithm. Richness...
متن کاملClose Proximity Operations for Implementing Mitigation Strategies
Central to almost any characterization or mitigation mission to a small solar system body, such as an asteroid or comet, is a phase of close proximity operations on or about about that body for some length of time. This is an extremely challenging environment in which to operate a spacecraft, surface vehicle, or human mission. Reasons for this include the a priori uncertainty of the physical ch...
