Inertial sensors are widely used in various applications, such as human motion monitoring and pedestrian positioning. However, inertial sensors cannot accurately define the process of human movement, a limitation that causes data drift in the process of human body positioning, thus seriously affecting positioning accuracy and stability. The traditional pedestrian dead-reckoning algorithm, which...

The accuracy and poor real-time performance of moving objects in a dynamic range complex environment become the bottleneck problem of the target location and tracking. In order to improve the positioning accuracy and the quality of tracking service, we propose an embedded tracking algorithm based on multi-feature fusion and visual object compression. On the hand, according to the feature of the...

in this research work, a novel parallel manipulator with high positioning and orienting rate is introduced. this mechanism has two rotational and one translational degree of freedom. kinematics and jacobian analysis are investigated. moreover, workspace analysis and optimization has been performed by using genetic algorithm toolbox in matlab software. because of decreasing moving elements, it i...

This paper deals with the formation control of multiple vehicles, using a combination of dynamic surface sliding control and hybrid systems. Each vehicle must perform several manoeuvres, either independently, or in a coordinated fashion as part of a vehicle formation. A dynamic surface controller is designed for each manoeuvre. Switches between manoeuvres and communication protocols between veh...

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) currently possess a high power-to-weight ratio, a high powerto-volume ratio, and a high degree of safety. They have therefore been applied to many power assist devices and positioning mechanisms such as bionic robots, welfare devices, and parallel manipulators. However, the significant nonlinear characteristics of PAM mechanisms limit their positioning accura...

The Arctic region is rich in oil and gas resources, but exploitation of resources there always facing great challenge. Floating offshore platform considered as a practical choice for exploration the deep water regions. One key technologies positioning system design under harsh arctic sea loads. In this paper, comprehensive investigated. A coupled numerical model composed mooring-assisted dynami...

Motion capture setups are used in numerous fields. Studies based on motion capture data can be found in biomechanical, sport or animal science. Clinical science studies include gait analysis as well as balance, posture and motor control. Robotic applications encompass object tracking. Today's life applications includes entertainment or augmented reality. Still, few studies investigate the posit...

This paper describes a Positioning algorithm that uses the signal strength, RSS, received by a Wireless Local Area Network, to determine user's static and dynamic position. The system improves the positioning accuracy by mitigating multi-path and noise, through an empirical analysis of environment and a prepost cursor mitigator. Most of the systems present in the state of art provide a solution...
