This paper presents a robot simulator which can automatically generate a smooth collision free path. This simulator has the characterstisc of the object - oriented programming which is coded in Borland C+ +. Using General Inverse Algorithm, the inverse kinematics solutions of any kind of robots can be found generally. This simulator also uses Bezier Functions for the description of a smooth collision - free path. In addition, GUI(Graphic User Interface)technique is employed for user's convenience.

In this paper, collision avoidance beamforming(CA-BF) technology is proposed to mitigate inter-cell interference in cooperative wireless communications system with limited feedback. Each acess terminal(AT) selects both the best BF weight vector for a serving base transceiver station(BTS) and the most interfering BF weight vectors of interfering BTSs within a cluster, and sends it back to a cluster scheduler. At the cluster scheduler, a set of transmit BF weights of BTSs and the corresponding scheduled ATs are jointly determined to avoid collision among beams formed by BTSs within a cluster, which enhances system throughput by mitigating inter-cell interference. It is shown that the proposed CA-BF outperforms existing non-coordinated BF schemes in terms of the average system throughput.

Korea government has developed Korean e-Navigation service to assist ship's collision avoidance, and is providing it since Jan. 2021 to korean vessels to reduce marine accidents caused by human error which is regarded as main reason of marine accidents. It is a huge achievement itself because it is a real-time maritime safety information service based on digital communication, but still has room for improvement to provide customized information for each vessel, such as considering ship's characteristics. This research analyzes current status and requirement of collision avoidance assistance service. Lastly, it suggests direction of improvement of service such as using data science, artificial intelligence(AI).

A real-time collision avoidance algorithm for an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) using the Distance Transform and Vector Field Histogram is studied. This approach enables AMR to find a collision-free path with the unknown obstacles. All system parameters including positions of the obstacles can be accepted using a mouse icon and all the obtained trajectories can be displayed on a computer monitor in graphics.

With the growing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), various collision avoidance methods have been proposed, mainly using LiDAR and stereo cameras. However, it is difficult to apply these sensors to small UAVs due to heavy weight or lack of space. The recently proposed methods use a combination of object recognition models and distance sensors, but they lack information on the obstacle size. This disadvantage makes distance determination and obstacle coordination complicated in an early-stage collision avoidance. We propose a method for estimating obstacle sizes using a monocular camera-YOLO and infrared sensor. Our experimental results confirmed that the accuracy was 86.39% within the distance of 40 cm. In addition, the proposed method was applied to a small UAV to confirm whether it was possible to avoid obstacle collisions.

IEEE 802.11 MAC uses a distributed coordination function (DCF) known as carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) for medium access. Random back-off algorithm helps to avoid the collision. This paper proposes virtual back-off and modified back-off algorithm for reduce a waiting time by back-off and reduce the collision. The modified DCF is consisted of these two algorithms. We expect to reduce the average waiting time of each transmission by using the modified DCF algorithm.

On the basis of DCPA(Distance to Closest Point of Approach) and TCPA(Time to CPA), the conventional algorithms for collision avoidances have a drawback that the '72 CORLEGs(International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972) has not taken into account to prevent collisions between ships. In this paper, the proposed algorithm decides whether the own ship is a give-way vessel or a stand-on vessel by observing the relative bearing of the encountered ship. To determine the ship position and time for collision avoidance, the proposed algorithm utilizes the ellipse model for ship safety domain. The computer simulation is done to represent the process of adversive behavior. Using the proposed method, the past maritime accident is analyzed. The proposed method can be effectively applied to collision avoidance by CORLEGs even when the target ship's navigational lights is invisible in poor weather and/or in the restricted visibility.

This paper presents a novel collision avoidance technique for mobile robots based on omni-directional vision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This method estimates the avoidance path and speed of a robot from the location of an obstacle, which can be detected using the Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow in images obtained through fish-eye cameras mounted on the robots. The conventional methods suggest avoidance paths by constructing an arbitrary force field around the obstacle found in the complete map obtained through the SLAM. Robots can also avoid obstacles by using the speed command based on the robot modeling and curved movement path of the robot. The recent research has been improved by optimizing the algorithm for the actual robot. However, research related to a robot using omni-directional vision SLAM to acquire around information at once has been comparatively less studied. The robot with the proposed algorithm avoids obstacles according to the estimated avoidance path based on the map obtained through an omni-directional vision SLAM using a fisheye image, and returns to the original path. In particular, it avoids the obstacles with various speed and direction using acceleration components based on motion information obtained by analyzing around the obstacles. The experimental results confirm the reliability of an avoidance algorithm through comparison between position obtained by the proposed algorithm and the real position collected while avoiding the obstacles.

According to careful study on the COLREGS, 1972, we can easily find out a main point that is to eliminate risk of collision at sea through exercising due regard to all danger of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances including the limitation of the vessels involved, or precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen. This paper, therefore, aims to clarify legal concept concerning the risk of collision so as to easier assimilate and understand by all mariner before being presented with a situation of danger in realty. After such a forethought and understanding the mariner will be in a position timely to implement the due regard or precaution to avoid collision by himself. For the purpose of good guidance, comprehensive legal practices of collision avoidance are adequately summarized by foreign and domestic cases.
