An Efficient Path Planning and Control Algorithm for RUAV’s in Unknown and Cluttered Environments

This paper presents an efficient planning and execution algorithm for the navigation of an autonomous rotary wing UAV (RUAV) manoeuvering in an unknown and cluttered environment. A Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) variant is used for the generation of a collision free path and linear Model Predictive Control(MPC) is applied to follow this path. The guidance errors are mapped to the states of the linear MPC structure by using the nonlinear kinematic equations. The proposed path planning algorithm considers the run time of the planning stage explicitly and generates a continuous curvature path whenever replanning occurs. Simulation results show that the RUAV with the proposed methodology successfully achieves autonomous navigation regardless of its lack of prior information about the environment.

Micropatterning of sulfonated polyaniline using a soft lithography based lift-off process

A combination of soft lithography and lift-off processing is presented for the fabrication of sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN) microstructures. A soft lithography based micromolding process was used to pattern sacrificial layers using a thermoplastic polymer. SPAN was then polymerized in situ to coat the patterned substrate. The sacrificial layer was removed by lift-off in an organic solvent, leaving the patterned SPAN on the substrate. This process was performed on several rigid and flexible substrates including glass, silicon, and polyimide. The film thickness and roughness were measured as a function of reaction time using atomic force microscopy. Patterns were also imaged using scanning electron microscopy. This process provides a cost effective and versatile method of patterning SPAN and has potential applications in a number of conducting polymer devices.     

Real-time removal of ocular artifacts from EEG based on independent component analysis and manifold learning

Frequent occurrence of ocular artifacts leads to serious problems in interpreting and analyzing the electroencephalogram (EEG). In the present paper, a novel and robust technique is proposed to eliminate ocular artifacts from EEG signals in real time. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is used to decompose EEG signals. The features of topography and power spectral density of those components are extracted. Moreover, we introduce manifold learning algorithm, a recently popular dimensionality reduction technique, to reduce the dimensionality of initial features, and then those new features are fed to a classifier to identify ocular artifacts components. A k-nearest neighbor classifier is adopted to classify components because classification results show that manifold learning with the nearest neighbor algorithm works best. Finally, the artifact removal method proposed here is evaluated by the comparisons of EEG data before and after artifact removal. The results indicate that the method proposed could remove ocular artifacts effectively from EEG signals with little distortion of the underlying brain signals and be satisfied the real-time application.     

Using a Trust Inference Model for Flexible and Controlled Information Sharing During Crises

The fluid, urgent nature of crises requires flexible, responsive information sharing. Recent studies show, however, that in business catastrophes and other kinds of crises conventional access control mechanisms favor security over flexibility. Our work addresses these seemingly contradictory needs for security and flexibility and designs a trust inference model based on fuzzy logic, a model that can be used with pervasive computing technologies using sensors and mobile devices. Drawing upon research on trust, we design a trust inference model using attributes of affiliation, task performance, and urgency; apply the model to a known crisis; discuss implementation issues; and explore issues for further research. This article is dedicated to Alan Jarman, a founding influence in the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management who died in Canberra 15 July 2010. Alan's quantitative, engineering background and his long standing commitment to improving crisis decision making prompted him to encourage our applying fuzzy logic to crisis information sharing. We are grateful for Alan's encouragement and advice.
