Adaptive grids: an image-based approach to generate navigation meshes
(S P I E - International Society for Optical Engineering, 2013-02-01)We propose adaptive grids, an image-based approach for constructing navigation meshes, which are used for path planning. A cellular navigation mesh, called an adaptive grid, is constructed from a top-view range image of a ... -
Airborne ground surveillance with multi-hop UAV networks
(Bilkent University, 2020-12)Cooperative utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in public and military surveillance applications has attracted significant attention in recent years. Most UAVs are equipped with sensors that have limited coverage ... -
Modeling of flexible needle insertion in moving tissue
(Bilkent University, 2012)Steerable needles can be used for minimally invasive surgeries to reach clinical targets which were previously inaccessible by rigid needles. Using such flexible needles to plan an insertion for these procedures is ... -
Motion planning of a mechanical snake using neural networks
(Bilkent University, 1998)In this thesis, an optimal strategy is developed to get a mechanical snake (a robot composed of a sequence of articulated links), which is located arbitrarily in an enclosed region, out of the region through a specified ...
