Sloshing is a common flow phenomenon in liquid cargo tanks and has great negative impact on the stability safety of ship navigation. It important to understand sloshing process under excitation complex external conditions for transportation cargo. In this paper, characteristics tank are studied combination roll surge. The pressure distribution at different positions discussed, along with influe...

For missions involving multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), dependable collision avoidance techniques are necessary to ensure mission completion and UAV safety. In this paper, we outline and implement an algorithm to reduce collisions using Inverse Proportional Navigation (IPN). Our algorithm checks for imminent collisions and resolves them by increasing the Line Of Sight (LOS) rate betwee...

There is no doubt that vehicle operators of heavy equipment have to accomplish difficult tasks. The increase in mine productivity has led to a proportional increase in equipment size. Most vehicles have considerable blind spots, due to scale alone. Combine normal variations in environmental conditions, in-vehicle management systems, navigation systems and radio communications; the most experien...

We have developed two different art applications using different systems involving crowd simulation and different custom interface devices. “Crowds” is an immersive art installation with stereo projection based on our development of the specification of crowd behavior using XML and images, a proprietary tangible wind interface, and interactive real-time navigation. “UnderCrowds” is an art insta...

This paper presents the development and validation of a vision-based navigation and control system for a small unmanned quadrotor. The core of this system is a state estimator based on the so-called multi-camera parallel tracking and mapping algorithm, which provides accurate pose estimation for the quadrotor using multiple cameras. Built on cascaded proportional-integral-derivative control loo...
