Collision avoidance for the aircraft can be stated as a problem of maintaining a safe distance between aircrafts in conflict. Optimal collision avoidance problem seeks to minimize the given cost function while simultaneously satisfying the constraints. The cost function can be a function of time or input. This paper addresses the trajectory time-optimization problem for collision avoidance of the unmanned aerial vehicles. The problem is difficult to handle, because it is a two points boundary value problem with dynamic environment. Some simplifying algorithms are used for application in on-line operation. Although there are more complicated problems, by prediction of conflict time and some assumptions, we changed a dynamic environment problem into a static one.

This paper proposes an evolutionary optimization approach for optimal hopping of humanoid robots. In the proposed approach, the hopping trajectory is generated by a central pattern generator (CPG). The CPG is one of the biologically inspired approaches, and it generates rhythmic signals by using neural oscillators. During the hopping motion, the disturbance caused by the ground reaction forces is compensated for by utilizing the sensory feedback in the CPG. Posture control is essential for a stable hopping motion. A posture controller is utilized to maintain the balance of the humanoid robot while hopping. In addition, a compliance controller using a virtual spring-damper model is applied for stable landing. For optimal hopping, the optimization of the hopping motion is formulated as a minimization problem with equality constraints. To solve this problem, two-phase evolutionary programming is employed. The proposed approach is verified through computer simulations using a simulated model of the small-sized humanoid robot platform DARwIn-OP.

Recently, satellite formation flying has been a topic of significant research interest in aerospace society because it provides potential benefits compared to a large spacecraft. Some techniques have been proposed to design optimal formation trajectories minimizing fuel consumption in the process of formation configuration or reconfiguration. In this study, a method is introduced to build fuel-optimal trajectories minimizing a cost function that combines the total fuel consumption of all satellites and assignment of fuel consumption rate for each satellite. This approach is based on collocation and nonlinear programming to solve constraints for collision avoidance and the final configuration. New constraints of nonlinear equality or inequality are derived for final configuration, and nonlinear inequality constraints are established for collision avoidance. The final configuration constraints are that three or more satellites should form a projected circular orbit and make an equilateral polygon in the horizontal plane. Example scenarios, including these constraints and the cost function, are simulated by the method to generate optimal trajectories for the formation configuration and reconfiguration of multiple satellites.

The optimal control problem of linear Lumped Parameter Systems (LPS) and Distributed Parameter Systems (DPS) is studied by employing the technique of Walsh functions (WF). By the using the elegant operational properties of WF, a direct computational algorithm for evaluating the optimal control and trajectory of LPS and DPS is developed. Without the need of solving the traditional matrix Riccati equation, the WF approach in shown very simple in form and convenient for use of a computer. The approximation is in the sense of least squares employing WF as the basis and the results are in the piecewise constant and discrete form.

The paper focuses on the establishment of optimized bucket path planning and trajectory control designated for force-reflecting backhoe reacting to excavation environment, such as potential obstacles and ground characteristics. The developed path planning method can be used for precise bucket control, and more importantly for obstacle avoidance which is directly related to safety issues. The platform of this research was based on conventional papers regarding the kinematic model of excavator. Jacobian matrix was constructed to find optimal joint angles and rotation angles of bucket from position and orientation data of excavator. By applying Newton-Raphson method optimal joint angles and bucket orientation were derived simultaneously in the way of minimizing positional errors of excavator. The model presented in this paper was intended to function as a cornerstone to build complete and advanced path planning of excavator by implementing soil mechanics and further study of excavator dynamics together.

Objective : The authors present their experiences with stereotactic multiplanar reformatted (MPR) computed tomography (CT)-guided catheter placement for thrombolysis of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (sICH) and their clinical results. Methods : In 23 patients with sICH, MPR CT-guided catheter placement was used to select the trajectory and target point of hematoma drainage. This group was comprised of 11 men and 12 women, and the mean age was 57.5 years (range, 31-79 years). The patients' initial Glasgow Coma Scale scores ranged from 7 to 15 with a median of 11. The volume of the hematoma ranged from 24 mL to 86 mL (mean 44.5 mL). A trajectory along the main axis of the hematoma was considered to be optimal for thrombolytic therapy. The trajectory was calculated from the point of entry through the target point of the hematoma using reformatted images. Results : The hematoma catheter was left in place for a median duration of 48.9 hours (range 34 to 62 hours). In an average of two days, the average residual hematoma volume was 6.2 mL (range 1.4 mL to 10.2 mL) and was reduced by an average of 84.7% (range 71.6% to 96.3%). The residual hematoma at postoperative seven days was less than 5 mL in all patients. There was no treatment-related death during hospitalization. Conclusion : The present study indicates that stereotactic MPR CT-guided catheter placement for thrombolysis is an accurate and safe procedure. We suggest that this procedure for stereotactic removal of sICH should be considered for the optimization of the trajectory selection in the future.

최근 GPS, 이동 전화, 무선 네트워크 등의 발달로 인해 넓은 공간상에서 시간의 흐름에 따라 변화하는 이동 객체에 대한 위치 정보를 수집하여 실생활에 활용하는 다양한 위치 기반 서비스의 사용이 늘어나고 있다. 그와 함께 대용량의 이동 객체를 빠르게 검색하기 위한 효율적인 색인 방법의 필요성이 대두 됨에 따라 관련된 많은 연구가 현재 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 이동 객체의 궤적에 대한 색인 과정에서 필요한 개선된 궤적 분할 방법을 제안한다. 궤적의 적절한 분할 위치를 찾아 근사치 영역을 나타내는 최소 경계 사각형(MBR)을 만드는 과정에서 평균적인 질의의 크기를 고려하여 형성되는 확장된 최소 경계 사각형(EMBR)의 영역을 이용한다. 이에 따라 EMBR의 총면적이 최소에 가까운 분할을 만들어내어 색인 구성 후 질의 수행 과정 동안에 불필요한 탐색 공간을 감소시키는 이점을 보이게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 궤적 분할방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 최적의 궤적 분할 방법과 기존의 궤적 분할 방법을 구현하여 각각의 EMBR 면적을 비교 분석한다. 비교 결과 제안하는 궤적 분할 방법이 기존의 방법보다 최적의 분할에 더 가까운 EMBR의 총면적을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper focuses on planning strategies for object interception, especially with minimum time. Herein, the goal is for robot to intercept object with minimum time on a conveyor line that flows to x-axis with respect to world coordinate system. In order to do it, conveyor system needs the algorithms for minimizing time. This objective is achieved by solving about two problems: selection of a minimum-time interception point and planning of an optimal robot trajectory. Herein, the first problem is formulated a minimization of the robot-object interception time.
