Rethinking the four-wing problem in plesiosaur swimming using bio-inspired decentralized control by Akira Fukuhara, Mitsutoshi Sato, Hisayuki Ogawa, Tamaki Sato, William Sellers, Akio Ishiguro

“…We focus on plesiosaurs, an extinct aquatic reptile group which has two pairs of flipper-shaped limbs, and demonstrate that a highly optimised, flexible locomotor pattern for all four flippers can be reconstructed based on a decentralized control scheme formulated from extant animals’ locomotion. The results of our robotic experiments show that a simple, local sensory feedback mechanism allows the plesiosaur-like robot to exploit the fluid flow between the flippers and generate efficient swimming patterns in response to changes in locomotor conditions. …”

A 3D Reconstruction Method Using Multisensor Fusion in Large-Scale Indoor Scenes by Panlong Gu, Fengyu Zhou, Dianguo Yu, Fang Wan, Wei Wang, Bangguo Yu

“…RGBD camera-based VSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithm is usually applied to assist robots with real-time mapping. However, due to the limited measuring principle, accuracy, and distance of the equipped camera, this algorithm has typical disadvantages in the large and dynamic scenes with complex lightings, such as poor mapping accuracy, easy loss of robot position, and much cost on computing resources. …”
