Context orescence imaging microscopy, national metrology institutes [3], microscope manufacturers [4], and more recently core facilities [5] have gotten involved in identifying, manufacturing and/or testing different tools, both hardware and software, to assess the numerous aspects of fluorescence microscopes. On the one hand, for the core facilities, it has become obvious that quality control ...

At high speeds in natural terrain, unmanned ground vehicles can experience unexpected situations that require rapid hazard avoidance maneuvers. In these scenarios there is often limited time to replan a path based on high-order dynamic models. This paper presents a novel method for high speed navigation and hazard avoidance based on the two dimensional “trajectory space,” a compact and computat...

A computational approach to generate real-time, optimal trajectories for a flight control experiment is presented. Minimum time trajectories are computed for hover-to-hover and forward flight maneuvers. Instantaneous changes in the trajectory constraints that model obstacles and threats are also investigated. Experimental results using the Nonlinear Trajectory Generation software package show g...

High-elevation habitats offer ecological advantages including reduced competition, predation, and parasitism [1]. However, flying organisms at high elevation also face physiological challenges due to lower air density and oxygen availability [2]. These constraints are expected to affect the flight maneuvers that are required to compete with rivals, capture prey, and evade threats [3-5]. To test...
