SMOOTH JERK-BOUNDED OPTIMAL PATH PLANNING OF TRICYCLE WHEELED MOBILE MANIPULATORS IN THE PRESENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL OBSTACLES

Smooth Jerk-Bounded Optimal Path Planning of Tricycle Wheeled Mobile Manipulators in the Presence of Environmental Obstacles

In this work, a computational algorithm is developed for the smooth-jerk optimal path planning of tricycle wheeled mobile manipulators in an obstructed environment.Due to a centred orientable wheel, the tricycle mobile manipulator exhibits more steerability and manoeuvrability over traditional mobile manipulators, especially in the presence of envi

Reclaiming Impact in Qualitative Research

In both academic and practitioner literature, the term "impact" is conceptualized broadly.Yet the application of impact is construed much more narrowly, in association with (uni)-directional relationships between variables and methodological frameworks oriented towards a BODY WASH DUSK positivist approach.Such a conceptualization is problematic, pa

Stochastic and club convergence of ecological footprint: An empirical analysis for different income group of countries

The convergence of environmental pollution is one of the contemporary issues in economics.Indeed, most of the long-run climate projections and New York future predictions of environmental conditions are based on convergence presumption.The pioneer studies initially focused on the convergence of carbon emission per capita, yet convergence of ecologi
