This paper presents the conceptual and functional design of a novel hybrid leg-wheel-track ground mobile robot for surveillance inspection, named WheTLHLoc (Wheel-Track-Leg Hybrid Locomotion). The aim work is development general-purpose platform capable combining tracked locomotion on irregular yielding terrains, wheeled with high energy efficiency flat compact grounds, stair climbing/descent a...

The 2004 International Planning Competition, IPC-4, includes a probabilistic planning track for the first time. We briefly summarize the design of the track.

An interactive tool is proposed for the visualization, editing and manipulation of multiple track sequences. Multiple tracks sequences can be associated with an articulated figure and may retain motion issued from different motion generators such as walking, inverse kinematics, and key framing within a unified framework. The TRACK system provides a large set of tools for track space manipulatio...

In this paper, an interactive tool is proposed for the visualization, editing and manipulation of multiple track sequences. A sequence is associated with an articulated figure and can integrate different motion generators such as walking, inverse kinematics, and keyframing within a unified framework. The TRACK system provides a large set of tools for track space manipulations and cartesian spac...

the constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. in addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. in this research all influence the behavior of the system only...

The concept of electronic track map has been introduced and researched in many satellitebased railway train positioning and location-based railway systems. It should characterize the railway tracks and their key objects and facilities with a satisfied accuracy and completeness. Based on the application requirements, design and building of the electronic track maps should be in accordance with t...

We examine the effects of different latency penalties in the evaluation of push notification systems, as operationalized in the TREC 2015 Microblog track evaluation. The purpose of this study is to inform the design of metrics for the TREC 2016 Real-Time Summarization track, which is largely modeled after the TREC 2015 evaluation design.

This paper presents a 3D simulation environment for track systems in semiconductor fabrication. The track systems together with exposure tools carry out important functions of the photolithography process of semiconductor fabrication. The developed 3D track simulator can be used for design and evaluation of track systems, and their performance analysis. The main goal of the 3D track simulator i...

Concrete track slab and asphalt trackbed are being introduced in Korea for providing good bearing capacity, durability to the track and comfortable rideness to passengers. Such a railway system has been designed by the train load so as to ensure stability. But there is lack of research and design for temperature changes which influence the behavior characteristics of concrete and asphalt. There...
