Noise-Suppressing Newton Algorithm for Kinematic Control of Robots by Xiuchun Xiao, Lin Wei, Dongyang Fu, Jingwen Yan, Huan Wang

“…In this paper, armed with the integral control method, a new noise-suppressing Newton (NSN) algorithm is proposed for the redundancy resolution of redundant robot manipulators efficiently. For practical hardware implementation, the discrete-time noise-suppressing Newton (abbreviated as DTNSN) algorithm is discretized from the continues NSN algorithm. …”

Enhancing Obstacle Avoidance in Dynamic Window Approach via Dynamic Obstacle Behavior Prediction by Bongsu Hahn

“…This paper proposes an enhanced local path planning method based on the Dynamic Window Approach (DWA), enabling a mobile robot to safely avoid obstacles and efficiently reach its destination. To overcome the limitations of the conventional DWA in handling dynamic obstacles and to improve goal reachability, the velocity term—originally evaluated solely by speed—was redefined as the distance difference between the robot’s predicted future position and the target destination. …”
