Based on the concept of continuous manufacturing an end-to-end benchtop device was developed unprecedented for the production of solid drug dosage forms by connecting flow synthesis and formulation via electrospinning (ES). Together with the optimized two-step continuous-flow synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) a water-soluble polymeric excipient (polyvinylpyrrolidone K30, PVPK30) was introduced...
Development of driverless road vehicles is one of the most active research areas of robotics today. Path planning among obstacles is one of the challenging problems to be solved in order to achieve autonomous navigation. In this paper we present a geometric path planning approach for car-like robots, intended for generating good quality paths even in cluttered environments containing narrow areas...
This paper is advocating for joint design of com- munication and control in cyber physical systems, especially self driving automobiles, exploiting adaptive and next generation networking concepts such as mobile edge clouds in 5G commu- nication systems. In this paper, we present our '5G connected- cars' testbed that was demonstrated in multiple international events including the Mobile World Congress,...
Path planning among obstacles for nonholonomic systems is a widely researched area nowadays, but it is still one of the most challenging problems in autonomous navigation. We have recently presented a rapidly exploring random tree based global planner (RTR) and a steering method (C*CS) for car-like vehicles, which uses circular and straight movements. With the aid of these two methods it is possible...
The need for intelligent autonomous vehicles is increasing in industrial and everyday life as well. Path planning among obstacles is one of the challenging problems to be solved to achieve autonomous navigation. In this paper we present a global geometric path planning method for car-like robots, which proved to be effective especially in cluttered environments, containing narrow passages. Navigation...
This paper presents a comprehensive solution for path planning and control of two popular types of autonomous wheeled vehicles. Differentially driven and car-like motion systems are the most widespread structures among wheeled mobile robots. The planning algorithm employs a rapidly exploring random tree based global planner (RTR), which generates paths made of straight motion and in place turning...
A steering method for local path generation of car-like robots is presented in this paper. It is shown that in the absence of obstacles there are infinitely many solutions between two arbitrary configurations in the form of C*CS paths. This property facilitates the application of this class of paths in global planning algorithms where collisions with obstacles have to be avoided. In addition, we show...
The Dynamic Window Approach (DWA) to collision avoidance is a well-known and elegant method in the mobile robotics field. It provides a collision-free navigation between obstacles, and takes the dynamic properties of the robot into account. Numerous variants had been proposed for this approach, most of them are using an objective function consisting of weighted terms. The solution named Global Dynamic...
A well-known reactive motion planning technique, the dynamic window approach (DWA) provides an elegant way to navigate safely in the presence of obstacles, also taking the dynamic properties of the robot into account. Most of the DWA-based methods have the same limitation, namely they use an objective function consisting of weighted terms. Different situations require different weights, however, there...
