In this article, the problem of accelerometer fault detection is studied for the rotary steerable
drilling tool system (RSDTS) which is modeled by a nonlinear stochastic system. Owing to …

A matching algorithm is a key technique in the gravity-aided inertial navigation system (INS).
A matching algorithm combined with an iterated closest contour point (ICCP) algorithm and …

Gravity-aided inertial navigation system (INS) has been widely applied in the application of
autonomous underwater vehicle. Due to the uneven distribution of the gravitational field, the …

Robot localization is a fundamental capability of all mobile robots. Because of uncertainties
in acting and sensing, and environmental factors such as people flocking around robots …

Mobile terrestrial laser scanners (MTLS), based on light detection and ranging sensors, are
used worldwide in agricultural applications. MTLS are applied to characterize the geometry …

Abstract Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a technique utilized in multiphase flow
for identifying flow patterns and void-fraction calculation. An image made of the conductivity …

In this article, we present a new mobile robot localization algorithm. The Kalman filter (KF)
and particle filter (PF), which are widely used in localization problems, may show poor …

This work proposes a new approach to the well-known method bat algorithm for solving the
mobile robots global localization problem. The proposed method is leader-based bat …

Localization is fundamental to autonomous operation of the mobile robot. A particle filter
(PF) is widely used in mobile robot localization. However, the robot localization based PF …

A numerical simulation model was established to investigate characteristics of keyhole and
molten pool during the laser butt welding. The sharp point in front of the keyhole and molten …
