Conventional optical tracking systems use cameras near-infra-red (NIR) light detecting cameras and passively/actively NIR-illuminated markers to localize instrumentation and the patient in the operating room (OR), i.e. physical space. This technology is widely-used within the neurosurgical theatre and is a staple in the standard of care in craniotomy planning. To accomplish, planning is largely...

This paper proposes a non-propositional representation framework for planning in physical domains. Physical planning problems involve identifying a correct sequence (plan) of object manipulations, transformations and spatial rearrangements to achieve an assigned goal. The problem of the ramification of action effects causes most current (propositional) planning languages to have inefficient enc...

| We describe in this paper a new motion planning approach for a non-holonomic mobile robot moving on a uneven terrain and subject to strong physical interaction constraints. The novelty of this method is that it deals with the dynamics of the robot and its physical interactions with the terrain at the planning time, together with the kinematic and the geometric constraints of the task. The pla...

BACKGROUND Although many people know that an active lifestyle contributes to health they fail to translate their intentions into action. This has been explained by deficits in self-management and resources, such as enabling social support, planning, and self-regulation in the face of barriers. The present study examines the role of perceived social support, planning, and self-regulation in faci...

OBJECTIVES Health-behaviour change is not predicted well by behavioural intentions alone. Action planning and coping planning are two self-regulatory strategies that may help bridge the gap between intentions and behaviour. Action planning comprises the when, where and how of implementing a behaviour. Coping planning involves the anticipation of barriers and ways to overcome them. The study exa...
