Usability Evaluation of a Novel Robotic Power Wheelchair for Indoor and Outdoor Navigation.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To compare the Mobility Enhancement roBotic (MEBot) wheelchair's capabilities with commercial electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) by performing a systematic usability evaluation.

Continuous patrolling in uncertain environment with the UAV swarm.

PloS one
The research about unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm has developed rapidly in recent years, especially the UAV swarm with sensors which is becoming common means of achieving situational awareness. Due to inadequate researches of the UAV swarm with ...

FESAEI: a fuzzy rule-based expert system for the assessment of environmental impacts : A fuzzy logic approach to impact assessment.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Currently, the method mostly used by practitioners of environmental impact assessment (EIA) is the "crisp numbers" method. Nevertheless, this arithmetic method is far away of giving correct values due to its rigidity and the lack of consideration of ...

Deep(er) Learning.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
Animals successfully thrive in noisy environments with finite resources. The necessity to function with resource constraints has led evolution to design animal brains (and bodies) to be optimal in their use of computational power while being adaptabl...

Anthropogenic activities impact on atmospheric environmental quality in a gas-flaring community: application of fuzzy logic modelling concept.

Environmental science and pollution research international
We present a modelling concept for evaluating the impacts of anthropogenic activities suspected to be from gas flaring on the quality of the atmosphere using domestic roof-harvested rainwater (DRHRW) as indicator. We analysed seven metals (Cu, Cd, Pb...

Development of GP and GEP models to estimate an environmental issue induced by blasting operation.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Air overpressure (AOp) is one of the most adverse effects induced by blasting in the surface mines and civil projects. So, proper evaluation and estimation of the AOp is important for minimizing the environmental problems resulting from blasting. The...

Vector-based navigation using grid-like representations in artificial agents.

Nature
Deep neural networks have achieved impressive successes in fields ranging from object recognition to complex games such as Go. Navigation, however, remains a substantial challenge for artificial agents, with deep neural networks trained by reinforcem...

Market penetration of intersection AEB: Characterizing avoided and residual straight crossing path accidents.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Car occupants account for one third of all junction fatalities in the European Union. Driver warning can reduce intersection accidents by up to 50 percent; adding Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) delivers a reduction of up to 70 percent. However, t...

TLBO-Based Adaptive Neurofuzzy Controller for Mobile Robot Navigation in a Strange Environment.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
This work investigates the possibility of using a novel evolutionary based technique as a solution for the navigation problem of a mobile robot in a strange environment which is based on Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization. TLBO is employed to train...

Risk-Predicting Model for Incident of Essential Hypertension Based on Environmental and Genetic Factors with Support Vector Machine.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Essential hypertension (EH) has become a major chronic disease around the world. To build a risk-predicting model for EH can help to interpose people's lifestyle and dietary habit to decrease the risk of getting EH. In this study, we constructed a EH...
