Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION ALGORITHMS ON TWO-WHEELED GROUND MOBILE ROBOTStephen Armah, Sun Yi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study presents an effective navigation architecture that combines ’go-to-goal’, ’avoid-obstacle’ and ’follow-wall’ controllers into a full navigation system. A MATLAB robot simulator is used to implement this navigation control algorithm. The robot in the simulator moves to a goal in the presence of convex and non-convex obstacles. Experiments are carried out using a ground mobile robot, Dr Robot X80SV, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 7 Apr 2014 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
