Collision with and avoidance of obstacles by blind cave fish Anoptichthys jordani (Characidae).
1985
Blind Mexican cave fish (Anoptichthys jordani) were released into unknown surroundings and their swimming tracks were recorded. During the first 24 h in a new tank, i.e., in unfamiliar environments, the average swimming velocity of the fish was higher than during the remaining time in the tank. Collision with obstacles was recorded by an electrical contact detection method. Single frame analysis of video-recordings revealed that collision can be correlated with tail movements when the fish is close to an obstacle, whereas avoidance correlates with gliding during approach to an obstacle. These behavior patterns are discussed in the context of the flow field hypothesis and inhibition of the l…

OBSTACLE PROBLEMS FOR DEGENERATE ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS WITH NONHOMOGENEOUS NONLINEAR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
2008
In this paper we study the questions of existence and uniqueness of solutions for equations of type - div a(x,Du) + γ(u) ∋ ϕ, posed in an open bounded subset Ω of ℝN, with nonlinear boundary conditions of the form a(x,Du) · η + β(u) ∋ ψ. The nonlinear elliptic operator div a(x,Du) modeled on the p-Laplacian operator Δp(u) = div (|Du|p-2Du), with p > 1, γ and β maximal monotone graphs in ℝ2 such that 0 ∈ γ(0) ∩ β(0), [Formula: see text] and the data ϕ ∈ L1(Ω) and ψ ∈ L1(∂ Ω). Since D(γ) ≠ ℝ, we are dealing with obstacle problems. For this kind of problems the existence of weak solution, in the usual sense, fails to be true for nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, so a new concept of solut…
Nonlinear balayage on metric spaces
2009
We develop a theory of balayage on complete doubling metric measure spaces supporting a Poincaré inequality. In particular, we are interested in continuity and p-harmonicity of the balayage. We also study connections to the obstacle problem. As applications, we characterize regular boundary points and polar sets in terms of balayage.

A brief overview on the numerical behavior of an implicit meshless method and an outlook to future challenges
2015
In this paper recent results on a leapfrog ADI meshless formulation are reported and some future challenges are addressed. The method benefits from the elimination of the meshing task from the pre-processing stage in space and it is unconditionally stable in time. Further improvements come from the ease of implementation, which makes computer codes very flexible in contrast to mesh based solver ones. The method requires only nodes at scattered locations and a function and its derivatives are approximated by means of a kernel representation. A perceived obstacle in the implicit formulation is in the second order differentiations which sometimes are eccesively sensitive to the node configurat…

We consider the problem of controlling the shape of the coincidence set in an obstacle problem. This so called packaging problem was introduced in
STUDIO DI UN AMMORTIZZATORE ELETTROMAGNETICO A RECUPERO DI ENERGIA
2013
Questo lavoro ha come obiettivo principale lo studio teorico e con supporto di software F.E.M. di un dispositivo che consenta recupero energetico da una sospensione automobilistica. In sostituzione allo smorzatore viscoso, che dissipa l’energia cinetica del veicolo a seguito dell’attraversamento di strade sconnesse o ostacoli più marcati, si è usato uno smorzatore elettromagnetico che svolga le funzioni dello smorzatore viscoso consentendo un recupero di energia elettrica. Lo smorzatore elettromagnetico è di tipo a magneti permanenti e il suo funzionamento si basa sul fenomeno dell’induzione elettromagnetica. Il modello matematico descrive il funzionamento dello smorzatore, restituendo i va…
An Intelligent Car Driver for safe Navigation with Fuzzy Obstacle Avoidance.
2009
In order to respond effectively to the environment uncertainties, autonomous vehicles are generally equipped with sensors. The proposed car guidance system is equipped with an intelligent controller, based on fuzzy logic, which calculates the speed and wheels orientation in order to follow a path while it is avoiding unknown obstacles. Better fluidity of driving are obtained using future-path, car dimension and car position prevision. Vehicle symmetries also speed-up and simplify the guidance system reducing the inputs and the rules numbers.
A possible approach to the development of robotic multi-agent systems
2004
The design of a an agent system for robotics is a problem that involves aspects coming from many different disciplines (robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, software engineering). The most difficult part of it, often consists in producing and tuning the algorithms that incorporates the robot behavior (planning, obstacle avoidance,. . . ) and abilities (vision, manipulation, navigation,. . . ). Frequently, the reuse of these parts is left to a copy and paste procedure from previous applications to the new one. In so doing many problems could arise. We propose a comprehensive approach for multi-agent systems oriented to robotics applications that uses a complete design methodol…
