When a Couple Goes Together: Walk along Steering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Steering techniques are widely used for navigation of single agents or crowds and flocks. Steerings also have the potential to coordinate movement of human-like agents in very small groups so that the resulting behavior appears socially believable, but this dimension is less explored. Here, we present one such “social” steering, the Walk Along steering for navigating a couple of agents to reach a certain place together. The results of a believability study with 26 human subjects who compared the new steering to the known Leader Following steering in eight different scenarios suggest the superiority of the Walk Along steering in social situations.

A Differential Steering System for Humanoid Robots
Biped locomotion for humanoid robots is a challenging problem that has come into prominence in recent years. As the degrees of freedom of a humanoid robot approaches to that of humans, the need for a better, robust, flexible and simpler maneuverability becomes inevitable for real or realistic environments. This paper presents a new method of controlling the trajectory of a humanoid robot on the...
متن کاملDrilling Trajectory Prediction Model for Push-the-bit Rotary Steerable Bottom Hole Assembly
The study of rotary steering drilling technology is currently one of the hot topics in the drilling engineering field. It requires accurate well trajectory control instructions when rotary steerable tools are applied to achieve the well trajectory control goal. A drilling trajectory prediction model will benefit this progress. According to the continuous beam theory, a mechanical model of push-...
متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...
متن کاملCovering a chessboard with staircase walks
An ascending (resp., descending) staircase walk on a chessboard is a rook’s path that goes either right or up (resp., down) in each step. We show that the minimum number of staircase walks that together visit every square of an n× n chessboard is d 3ne .

Background: Every day, many children are born by assisted reproductive techniques. For some infertile couples have no other way to have a child except donation. So far, there are too many children are born by donation protocols or surrogacy. As in donation protocols and surrogacy, a third party helps the couple by sharing gamete, embryo or uterus, there can be some social, legal and psychologic...
