INDOOR MOBILE ROBOT ATTITUDE ESTIMATION WITH MEMS GYROSCOPE

Indoor mobile robot attitude estimation with MEMS gyroscope

A method of attitude estimation with a low-cost, strap-on MEMS sensor was proposed in the article.The method relies on dynamic gyroscope bias change estimation and updates during detected stops of here the robot.The algorithm has been tested in laboratory with iRobot Roomba robot and should be improved to be useful in an industrial environment.The

Exploring neuronal bistability at the depolarization block.

Many neurons display bistability--coexistence of two firing modes such as bursting and tonic spiking or tonic spiking and silence.Bistability has been proposed to endow neurons with richer forms of information processing in general and to be involved in short-term memory in particular by allowing a brief signal to elicit long-lasting changes in fir

The diversity of animals identified as keystone species

Abstract Although the keystone species concept was conceived of over 50 years ago, contemporary efforts to synthesize related literature have been limited.Our objective was to create a list of keystone animal species identified in the literature and to examine the variation in the traits of species and the ecosystem influences they elicit.We docume
