The sailing efficiency of an underwater glider, an important type of marine environment detection and data collection equipment, directly affects its range and duration. The zero-angle-of-attack gliding can be achieved by adjusting the wing installation angle to minimize the drag and improve the sailing efficiency, and thus further improving performance of the glider. This paper first presents the dynamic characteristics of a hybrid-driven underwater glider with a certain wing installation angle when it is sailing at zero angle of attack in buoyancy-driven mode and hybrid-driven mode. In buoyancy-driven mode, with a given wing installation angle, the glider can achieve zero-angle-of-attack gliding only at a specific glide angle. In hybrid-driven mode, due to the use of a propulsion system, the specific glide angle that allows the zero-angle-of-attack gliding in buoyancy-driven mode is expanded to a glide angle range bounded by zero degrees. Then, the energy consumption per meter is introduced as an indicator of sailing efficiency, and the effects of glide angle and wing installation angle on sailing efficiency of the zero-angle-of-attack glider in two driving modes are studied under the conditions of given net buoyancy and given speed, respectively. Accordingly, the optimal wing installation angle for maximizing the sailing efficiency is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the sailing efficiency of a zero-angle-of-attack glider can be higher than that of a traditional glider. Considering the requirements of different measurement tasks, a higher sailing efficiency can be achieved by setting reasonable parameters and selecting the appropriate driving mode.

This paper describes a planning framework of environment detection for unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) in the completely unknown off-road environment, which is able to quickly guide the UGV with nonholonomic constraints to detect the environmental information as much as possible. The contributions of this paper contain four fold. First, due to the sensor characteristics of camera and lidar, we present a two-layer combined detection map which can accurately represent the detected and undetected area. Second a frontier extraction algorithm based on RRT considering information acquisition and nonholonomic constraints of UGV is used to extract the target pose. Third, we use a search path planning method based on motion primitive which is able to handle obstacle constraints of environment, nonholonomic constraints of UGV. Fourth the heuristic fusion is proposed to guide the extension of motion primitives to generate a kinodynamically feasible and collision-free trajectory in real-time. And it works well in both simulation and real scene.

Abstract In recent years, microfluidic chips have been widely used in food safety, environment detection, clinical diagnosis and biochemical. However, Digital microfluidic chips(DMF) are attracting more and more eyes because picoliter-microliter-sized sample droplets can be accurately and automatically manipulated. In this paper, a method of design electrode channel height is studied to improve the efficiency of the voltage driving.
