Self-motion signals, distributed ubiquitously across parietal-temporal lobes, propagate to limbic hippocampal system for vector-based navigation via hubs including posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and retrosplenial (RSC). Although numerous studies have indicated areas are involved in spatial tasks, it is unclear how their neurons represent self-motion signals. Providing translation rotation sti...

This paper explores the feasibility of roll–pitch–yaw integrated autopilots for a high angle-of-attack missile. Investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics indicates strong cross-coupling effects between the motions in longitudinal and lateral directions. Robust control techniques based on H1 synthesis are employed to design roll– pitch–yaw integrated autopilots. The performance of the pro...

Introduction: In radiotherapy with external surrogates, exact information of tumor position is one of the key factors that improves treatment delivery. Many dynamic tumors in thorax region of patient move mainly due to respiration and are known as intra-fractional motion error that must be compensated, as well. One of clinical strategy is using Stereotactic Body Radiation Thera...

Most methods for the recognition of shape classes from 3D datasets focus on classifying clean, often manually generated models. However, 3D shapes obtained through acquisition techniques such as Structure-from-Motion or LIDAR scanning are noisy, clutter and holes. In that case global shape features—still dominating the 3D shape class recognition literature—are less appropriate. Inspired by 2D m...

In this study, a four degrees of freedom vehicle model is used in order to design and check the performance of sliding mode controlled active suspensions. Force actuators are mounted parallel to the suspensions and a non-chattering control is realized. Sliding mode control is preferred because of its robust character since any change in vehicle parameters should not affect the performance of th...

Hydrodynamic forcing with respect to sediment transport and morphologic change, paying particular attention to relevant swash asymmetries, is reviewed. The hydrodynamics are categorized into their individual effects: highand lowfrequency motions, bores and turbulence, in/exfiltration, shear stresses and friction coefficients. Individual effects are then related to their potential for driving or...

While exploring to find better solutions, an agent performing online reinforcement learning (RL) can perform worse than is acceptable. In some cases, exploration might have unsafe, or even catastrophic, results, often modeled in terms of reaching 'failure' states of the agent's environment. This paper presents a method that uses domain knowledge to reduce the number of failures during explorati...

Multibody motion segmentation is important in many computer vision tasks. One way to solve this problem is factorization. But practically segmentation is difficult since the shape interaction matrix is contaminated by noise. This paper presents a novel approach to robustly segment multiple moving objects by spectral clustering. We introduce two new affinity matrixes. One is based on the shape i...
