Robots can be assigned tasks to be executed through a centralized interface. Tasks are assigned to a specific robot, and, depending on the type of task, the robot is autonomously directed to the station associated with the task in the building.

This task becomes challenging when the kinematic constraints of the robot (differential-drive, car-like, etc.) are to be taken into account. In this work we analyze and empirically compare two promising approaches to construct kinematically-feasible trajectories for differential drive robots – Theta*-RRT and GRIPS. Both of these approaches utilize geometric path planning but differ in the way how it is done. Theta*-RRT relies on sampling-based planning biased towards the geometric path. GRIPS modifies the path and tries to connect its elements with the steering function that respects kinematic constraints. We evaluate both approaches in simulation and on the real robot highlighting their pros and cons. Our evaluation shows that there is no universal winner and we provide suggestions on when to use specific method.","PeriodicalId":150550,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Siberian Conference on Control and Communications (SIBCON)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117041967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-element adaptive antenna arrays have low cost, high mobility and low hardware costs for organizing atmospheric scanning. The subject of intensive research is adaptive antenna arrays application in radar and radio navigation systems. It allows to form the required directional pattern, to electrically scan the space by changing the amplitude-phase distribution on the adaptive antenna arrays elements, to increase the probability of receiving useful signal, including signals reception against the background of multipath.

Uneven solar heating distorts the surface of a huge umbrella-reflector, disrupting the required set of beams. In case of multibeam hybrid mirror antennas, cluster adaptive tuning paves the way for beams' stabilization. As the field of the terrestrial beacon, focused by mirror, bears the imprint of the reflector, its current state can be detected from the signals received by the antenna array.The synthesis of the best-fit paraboloid from the signals of a hexagonal cluster is reduced to minimizing the MSD using the concept of shapes' deviation, which we introduced for antenna synthesis. Finding six parameters of the paraboloid from seven (!) signals seems to be a simple task. However, the relationship between the sought-for parameters and the signals is so special that the gradient is oriented almost perpendicularly to the true direction even in the region close to the optimal point. It's amazing how the equipotential surface is shaped like a screw?Reconstruction of the reflector surface without any priori assumptions turned out to be possible within the framework of engineering heuristics, which partially steams from V.N. Dymski’ notion of energetically optimal solution of antenna synthesis. In the area near the reflector, the phase distribution of the field radiated by the antenna array, excited in accordance with the complex conjugate signals from the terrestrial beacon, is compared to the phases of a plane wave propagating towards the beacon. P.V. Romanov, my postgraduate student, raised a sound idea that the points at which the phase difference is constant are the sought reflector points.Evaluation of the consistency and effectiveness of the above approaches requires multivariate calculations. Therefore, the time consumption for modeling a large reflector antenna becomes a decisive factor. We use an extremely fast algorithm based on some robust engineering assumptions that we call acoustic approach.","PeriodicalId":150550,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Siberian Conference on Control and Communications (SIBCON)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114308065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
