This paper investigates the real-time optimal obstacle avoidance of a micro ground vehicle (MGV) using the modified Carathéodory- solutions. The optimal control problem is sequentially solved by the pseudospectral optimal control theory as a minimum-time point-to-point maneuver. The MGV uses the generated optimal control law and optimal trajectory for its maneuver. When the vehicle approaches ...

A distribution of anaphoric elements roughly like that found in English occurs in languages around the world: There are certain lexical items that occur only with antecedents which ccommand them and which are located in the same local domain (roughly, clause) as the anaphoric elements. In contrast, other anaphoric elements are unable to take c-commanding antecedents within the local domain. The...
