Skid‐steered mobile robots have been widely used in exploring unknown environments and in military applications. In this paper, the tuning fuzzy Vector Field Orientation (FVFO) feedback control method is proposed for a four track wheel skid‐steered mobile robot (4‐TW SSMR) using flexible fuzzy logic control (FLC). The extended Kalman filter is utilized to e...

Pavement frictional characteristics are commonly determined by conducting skid tests in accordance with ASTM Standard E274. The results of these tests [skid number (SN)] are used in ranking roads to establish construction priorities and to estimate tirepavement friction in accident analysis. The role of SN in these two applications is addressed. There are serious limitations constraining the us...

Extreme skin depth engineering (e-skid) can be applied to integrated photonics manipulate the evanescent field of a waveguide. Here we demonstrate that e-skid implemented in two directions order deterministically engineer wave allowing for dense integration with enhanced functionalities. In particular, by increasing depth, enable creation large gap, bendless directional couplers operational ban...

There are high mountains and steep roads in Guizhou Province. Affected by the relatively closed environment, humidity other factors, skid resistance durability of highway tunnels were obviously reduced, which affects normal operation asphalt pavement. Based on pavement maintenance project Yilaga Tunnel Province, a new kind epoxy surface treatment technology for has been introduced this paper. T...
