Path Finding: Behavior of Artificial Neural Network
Abstract
To travel from one location to another is a common task for most human beings. Actually creating a robot to find a path to the destination while avoiding obstacles is another task. The behavior of an artificial neural network is synthesized mimicking the decisions leading to a path. a two-layer network using a simplified model of a biological network (i.e. brain is used).
Garafolo tests spacecraft seal to verify computer models
Previous seal studies relied heavily on ‘intuition and costly experiments’
Columbus, Ohio (March 7, 2012) – An Akron researcher is designing computer prediction models to test potential new docking seals that will better preserve breathable cabin air for astronauts living aboard the International Space Station and other NASA spacecraft.
SuperViz '94 Showcases Excellent Science -- Ohio Research Featured in Supercomputing Video
