This paper presents a multiresolutional architec- ture of planners for obstacle avoidance in outdoor mobility. The planner makes use of o -line dynam- ical
A brief description is presented of the low-frequency impedance calibration facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Included are
This is a report of the general Session for Study committee 15, Materials for electrotechnology, which took place at the CIGRE meeting in Paris, on September 2
This discussion paper proposes that development of formalized standards for the rapid prototyping (RP) industry will help enable the continued growth and
A variety of different kinds of photomask critical dimension (CD) metrology tools are available today to help meet current and future metrology challenges
Unchained from the confines of controller limitations, the industrial application of parallel kinematic machines in manufacturing is beginning to emerge. The
