Force-based group formation control

چکیده
Nowadays, simulations of groups are important to bring more natural look to the virtual world. Moreover, large crowds can be used not only to fill space, but to create visually interesting shapes with perceptive or cognitive meaning. Positioning of people to create shapes is well known from live performances, or shows, where dancers are positioned to create formations. This principle is transferred from people to the animals in various motion pictures as another channel of metaphor. Our stochastic approach in distribution of individuals is different from regular ones, where participants are equally distributed. We use particle systems for representation of individuals and apply repulsive forces for distribution. This bring semi-regular approach, where participants are more naturally, less equally distributed with shape-preserving. Moreover we bring more automation and simplicity to the process, where chief animators, or designers define only shapes. Afterward we distribute individuals and create movement between formations. Shape-preserving is a feature which depends on human perception. Therefore we verified our results with the group of children that are target group of most motion picture movies and also with the group of adults. We tested meaning of the formations for humans in various ages and backgrounds.

متن کاملEvaluation of ground reaction force in walking of below knee amputees based on sample entropy
Introduction: Abnormal pressure during daily activities, including walking, is known as a risk factor in knee joint degeneration in knee amputees. The aim of this research was to analyze ground reaction force (GRF) and sample entropy in below-the-knee amputees. Methods: This study was a descriptive-cross-sectional type, and 20 people with below-knee amputations of the right leg (TT group) and ...
متن کاملFormation Control of Mobile Robots
A constructive method is presented to design cooperative controllers that force a group of N mobile robots to achieve a particular formation in terms of shape and orientation while avoiding collisions between themselves. The control development is based on new local potential functions, which attain the minimum value when the desired formation is achieved, and are equal to infinity when a colli...

Based on the recent theoretical development for formation control of multiple fully actuated agents with an elliptical shape in Do (2011), this paper develops distributed controllers that force a group of N underactuated ships with limited communication ranges to perform a desired formation, and guarantee no collisions between any ships in the group. The ships are first fitted to elliptical dis...

The main objective of this research was to synthesize and characterize gold-coated Fe3O4 /SiO2 nanoshells for clinical applications. Magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via co-precipitation. The results showed that smaller particles can be synthesized by decreasing the NaOH concentration, which in our case this corresponded to 35 nm by using 0.9 M of NaOH at 750 rpm. The NPs were then m...
