  2. 1. Escaping 'death by GPS' : foundations for adaptive navigation assistance

    Author : Fateme Teimouri; Kai-Florian Richter; Henrik Björklund; Sabine Timpf; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wayfinding; navigation systems; navigation complexity; prominent locations; route generalization; spatial cognition; mental models; route learning; direction giving; Human-centered study.;

    Abstract : Navigating through physical environments has evolved over time from using stars and maps to support the wayfinding, to employing Global Positioning Systems and navigation services. Turn-by-turn guidance of navigation services is an effective way to support wayfinding, but it may not align with the way humans naturally navigate. READ MORE

  4. 2. Advanced cranial navigation

    Author : Simon Skyrman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurosurgery is performed with extremely low margins of error. Surgical inaccuracy may have disastrous consequences. The overall aim of this thesis was to improve accuracy in cranial neurosurgical procedures by the application of new technical aids. READ MORE

  5. 3. Inertial Navigation and Mapping for Autonomous Vehicles

    Author : Martin Skoglund; Fredrik Gustafsson; Thomas Schön; Tim Bailey; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SLAM; Inertial Navigation; Filtering; Smoothing; Cameras; Optimisation; Autonomous;

    Abstract : Navigation and mapping in unknown environments is an important building block for increased autonomy of unmanned vehicles, since external positioning systems can be susceptible to interference or simply being inaccessible. Navigation and mapping require signal processing of vehicle sensor data to estimate motion relative to the surrounding environment and to simultaneously estimate various properties of the surrounding environment.

  6. 4. From Ants to Service Robots : an Exploration in Stigmergy-Based Navigation Algorithms

    Author : Ali Abdul Khaliq; Alessandro Saffiotti; Federico Pecora; Andrea Omicini; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stigmergy; Minimalistic Robots; Mobile robot navigation; RFID technology; Multi-robot system; Path planning; Localization; Map building;

    Abstract : Navigation is a core functionality of mobile robots. To navigate autonomously, a mobile robot typically relies on internal maps, self-localization, and path planning. Reliable navigation usually comes at the cost of expensive sensors and often requires significant computational overhead. READ MORE

  7. 5. Automated Functions: Their Potential for Impact Upon Maritime Sociotechnical Systems

    Author : Katie A Aylward; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; situation awareness; sociotechnical systems; Human-automation interaction; decision-making; safety; maritime navigation; e-Navigation; automation;

    Abstract : The shipping industry is evolving towards an unknown and unpredictable future. There is speculation that in the next two decades the maritime industry will witness changes far exceeding those experienced over the past 100 years. READ MORE
