Abstract: Qualitative motion reasoning is an important approach to spatial commonsense reasoning. In this paper, we propose a qualitative motion reasoning method based on Voronoi diagrams. The method ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

Abstract: The sampling-based partial motion planning algorithm has been widely applied in real-time mobile robot navigation for its computational savings and its flexibility in avoiding obstacles.

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Everyone loves perpetual motion machines. They are a representation of the highest level of creativity in finding loopholes in the laws of physics. Let's take a look at this one. What is a perpetual ...

Two forces can be added together to find a resultant force. In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when two children pull on the handle, one with a force of 3 newtons (N) to the left and one with a ...
