Analytic Velocity Obstacle for Efficient Collision Avoidance Computation and a Comparison Study With Sampling and Optimization-Based Approaches
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Velocity obstacle (VO) is one of the popular reactive navigation algorithms for the path planning of autonomous agents. The collision-free property can be guaranteed if the agent is able to choose a velocity outside the ... -
Deep Visible and Thermal Camera-Based Optimal Semantic Segmentation Using Semantic Forecasting
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Visible camera-based semantic segmentation and semantic forecasting are important perception tasks in autonomous driving. In semantic segmentation, the current frame’s pixel-level labels are estimated using the current ... -
CenterTrack3D: Improved CenterTrack More Suitable for Three-Dimensional Objects
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Compared with two-dimensional (2D) multi-object tracking (MOT) algorithms, three-dimensional (3D) multi-object tracking algorithms have more research significance and broad application prospects in the unmanned vehicles ... -
Analysis of Hazards for Autonomous Driving
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Hazard analysis is the core of numerous approaches to safety engineering, including the functional safety standard ISO-26262 (FuSa) and Safety of the Intended Function (SOTIF) ISO/PAS 21448. We focus on addressing the ... -
Effects of High Fidelity Modeling of Multirotor Drones
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)This paper examines two different factors that will affect energy consumption for multi-rotor drones with more than four rotors. First, the choice of aerodynamic model for the rotor blades is examined. Two aerodynamic ... -
Time Optimal Trajectories for a Mobile Robot With Acceleration and Speed Limits in the Presence of an Obstacle
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)This paper studies the time optimal paths of a mobile robot navigating in a planar environment containing an obstacle. The paper considers a point-mass robot that moves with bounded acceleration and limited turn-rate ... -
Analytical and Experimental Evaluation of Various Active Suspension Alternatives for Superior Ride Comfort and Utilization of Autonomous Vehicles
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) give the driver opportunity to engage in productive or pleasure-related activities, which will increase AV’s utility and value. It is anticipated that many AVs will be equipped with active suspension ... -
SphereWalker: A Hexapod Walking Machine
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)This article describes the design and the development of a novel six-legged robotic walking machine named SphereWalker. The six legs are arranged into pairs, and each pair of legs is supported and actuated by a single ... -
Analysis and Control of an In-Pipe Wheeled Robot With Spiral Moving Capability
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)This article presents analysis and control of a wheeled robot that can move spirally inside the pipeline. The wheeled robot considered is composed of two mechanical bodies, a pair of differential-drive wheels, a lifting ... -
Probabilistic Modeling of Driver Behaviors at Urban Crossroad Interactions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)The interactions with human drivers is one of the major challenges for autonomous vehicles. In this study, we consider urban crossroads without signals where driver interactions are indispensable. Crossroads are parameterized ... -
Inaugural Editorial
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to the authors for their tremendous contributions to the Inaugural Issue. The offering of your collaboration on the Inaugural Issue is enormously important for the effective ...
