An Interior Trajectory Simulation of the Gas-steam Missile Ejection

An interior trajectory simulation of the canister launched missiles has been developed with the help of FLUENT. One of the special features of this simulation is the method by which the coupled three-phase problem is reduced to solving the fluid equations only. Several new source terms describing the influence of droplets and particles on gas have been created in the present case and added to t...

Robot Arm Trajectory Planning Using Missile Guidance Algorithm

This paper presents a novel approach to on-line trajectory planning of robot arms for the interception of a fastmaneuvering object under torque and velocity constraints. Especially, the trajectory planning in the Y direction employs a missile guidance algorithm to intercept the maneuvering object. The proposed method yields that a robot arm can smoothly grasp a maneuvering object. Simulation re...

Ballistic missile trajectory prediction using a state transition matrix

A method for the determination of the trajectory of a ballistic missile over a rotating, spherical Earth given only the launch position and impact point has been developed. The iterative solution presented uses a state transition matrix to correct the initial conditions of the ballistic missile state vector based upon deviations from a desired set of final conditions. A six-degree-of-freedom si...

Trajectory Generation with Player Modeling

The ability to perform tasks similarly to how a specific human would perform them is valuable in future automation efforts across several areas. This paper presents a k-nearest neighbor trajectory generation methodology that creates trajectories similar to those of a given user in the Space Navigator environment using cluster-based player modeling. This method improves on past efforts by genera...
