Navigation of Autonomous Mobile Robots
An integrated navigational system for autonomous mobile robots features a primary navigator, such as an inertial navigation or a dead-reckoning system, and a secondary navigator. The secondary...
Inertially Favorable Trajectories for Robot Motion in Space
Robot manipulators generally display non-linear coupled dynamic forces which increase with speed. Efficiencies can be achieved by finding trajectories which take advantage of those inertial...
River Wave Response to the Friction-Inertia Balance
The changing character of the solution of the Saint-Venant equations for river flow problems with the dimensionless parameter F//I reflects a changing balance between friction and inertia....
Design Criteria for Generators in Low-Head Hydro-Power Plants
Principal characteristics and design features of such generators are discussed and options and preferences in their selection mentioned. Effects on inertia constant, efficiency, reactive...
The Role of the V.A. Resident Engineer
The Resident Engineer plays a vital part on the Veterans Administration construction team. He serves as a hub for communications between the various members of the team as well as the...
