Navigating a mobile robot through curve path is difficult task in both on-road and off-road navigation. This research provides hardware software platform to address this issue. Two types of have been conducted paper. First, consisting Linear Actuator-based steering mechanism implemented hold the at desired angle. Second, curvature information from Google Maps data collected used improve existin...

For small objects moving smoothly in space close to the observer, smooth pursuit and vergence eye movements maintain target images near the foveae to insure high-resolution processing of visual signals about moving objects. Signals for both systems must be synthesized for pursuit-in-three-dimensions (3D). Recent studies have shown that responses of the majority of pursuit neurons in the frontal...

Nonconsciously activated goals and consciously set goals produce the same outcomes by engaging similar psychological processes (Bargh, 1990; Gollwitzer & Bargh, 2005). However, nonconscious and conscious goal pursuit may have diVerent eVects on subsequent aVect if goal pursuit aVords an explanation, as nonconscious goal pursuit occurs in an explanatory vacuum (i.e. cannot be readily attributed ...

Smooth pursuit and saccades are two components of tracking eye movements. Their coordination has usually been studied by investigating latencies of pursuit onset in response to a moving target appearing simultaneously with the disappearance of the stationary fixation target. The general finding from such studies has been that latencies of saccades and pursuit are different and reflect independe...

The dramatic improvement in smooth pursuit performance seen while analyzing the pursuit target has been ascribed to attention enhancement. With a periodic constant velocity target trajectory we ran a concurrent listening condition instead, to see if this mild distraction would degrade performance. Performance improved somewhat with the listening task, suggesting that displacing attentional effo...

Smooth pursuit eye movements have been linked to perception by a common attentional mechanism. We investigated whether perceptual performance was traded for smooth pursuit performance. While tracking a red target cross, observers had to discriminate the orientation of a flashed peripheral grating. We manipulated the priority given to the two tasks. Pursuit gain changed according to observers' e...
