SYSTEM ON AN OUTDOOR MOBILE ROBOT Patrick G. Kenny, Clint R. Bidlack, Karl C. Kluge, Jaeho Lee, Marcus J. Huber, Edmund H. Durfee and Terry Weymouth Arti cial Intelligence Laboratory The University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-2110 Abstract Researchers at the University of Michigan's AI Lab are working to produce mobile robot systems capable of intelligently reacting to events and obje...

an excellent article on this competition; a companion article describes two of the top finishers (Congdon et al. 1993). The second competition attracted even more competitors, and the sophistication of the hardware and software systems seemed to have grown geometrically. An article by Ilah Nourbakhsh (Nourbakhsh et al. 1993) describes some of the top teams from the competition, the strategies t...

IT IS STILL commonly taught in physiological textbooks that carbohydrates are completely digested in the lumen of the bowel by the action of pancreatic juices and the succus entericus. This is untrue and in fact the enzymes of the succus entericus probably represent desquamated intestinal cells and are not present in sufficient quantitity to be of physiological significance, while the final sta...

As a result of the research, it was established that as 2021, 126 oak trees, 5 European larch and 2 spruce trees have been entered into state register in Vinnytsia region. It determined that, on average, potential seed collection for common northern is: 400-700 kg/ha, black walnut – 600-800 broad-leaved linden 80-160 edible chestnut kg/ha. total number LGR Register is 46 plots with area 1,286 h...

A large number of plant and microbial architectures have been identified and investigated for potential applications in therapeutics, cosmetics, and nutrition. Nonetheless, continuous identification, and design of novel lead molecules are prerequisites to tackling emerging diseases since most existing drugs are losing utility because of resistance by microorganisms. Advances in biotechnological...

TO the general public the work of the Port Health Service is little known with the result that it gets very little publicity except on those rare occasions when a large passenger liner is held up with a case of suspected smallpox on board. Port health authorities whether they are concerned with a seaport or airport have one major function and that is to protect the country of which they are the...

In this paper, we show how standard GIS operations like the complement, union, intersection, and buffering of maps can be made more flexible by using fuzzy set theory. In particular, we present a variety of algorithms for operations on fuzzy maps, focusing on buffer operations for fuzzy maps. Introduction Although geographic information systems have been used for quite a while (Coppock & Rhind ...

Researchers from a wide array of disciplines have investigated ancient ''plagues'', from fields as diverse as microbiology, ancient history, epidemiology, zoology, palaeopathology and archaeology, both independently from each other or in collaborative multidisciplinary teams. This paper aims to discuss the role of archaeology within such investigations and, perhaps more significantly, to highli...
