The Length of the Beacon Attraction Trajectory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the attraction trajectory of a point under the beacon model. We show that when a point object p is attracted to a point beacon b, inside a simple polygon P , its trajectory is at most √ 2 times the geodesic distance between p and b in P .

On the Inverse Beacon Attraction Region of a Point
Motivated by routing in sensor networks, Biro et al. [2] introduced the notion of beacon attraction and inverse attraction as a new variant of visibility in a simple polygon. A beacon b is a point inside a polygon P that can induce an attraction that moves a target point p greedily towards it in a trajectory that always reduces distance from p to b. The trajectory of p may require sliding p alo...
متن کاملAn Optimal Algorithm to Compute the Inverse Beacon Attraction Region
The beacon model is a recent paradigm for guiding the trajectory of messages or small robotic agents in complex environments. A beacon is a fixed point with an attraction pull that can move points within a given polygon. Points move greedily towards a beacon: if unobstructed, they move along a straight line to the beacon, and otherwise they slide on the edges of the polygon. The Euclidean dista...
متن کاملA Novel Robust Adaptive Trajectory Tracking in Robot Manipulators
In this paper, a novel adaptive sliding mode control for rigid robot manipulators is proposed. In the proposed system, since there may exist explicit unknown parameters and perturbations, a Lyapunov based approach is presented to increase system robustness, even in presence of arbitrarily large (but not infinite) discontinuous perturbations. To control and track the robot, a continuous controll...
متن کاملRobust Trajectory Free Model Predictive Control of Biped Robots with Adaptive Gait Length
This paper employs nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) for robust trajectory-free Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) of biped robots. The NDO is used to reject the additive disturbances caused by parameter uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, joints friction, and external slow-varying forces acting on the biped robots. In contrary to the slow-varying disturbances, handling sudden pushing ...
متن کاملTypical Ka band Satellite Beacon Receiver Design for Propagation Experimentation
This paper presents the design and simulation of a typical Ka band satellite beacon receiver for propagation experimentation. Using satellite beacon signal as a reference signal in satellite wave propagation study, is one of the most important methods. Satellite beacons are frequently available for pointing large antennas, but such signals can be used for measuring the effect of natural phenome...
