Nowadays, the steering system in automotive vehicles still is Ackerman type, which maneuverability is limited, but this dominant system has forced drivers to deal with the maneuverability restrictions that it implies. In this paper is tested and compare two steering modes using a carlike mobile robot. The vehicle was operated by the user through a joystick and two different algorithms were programmed in the vehicle, one is the classic Ackerman steering mode and independent steerability. It was possible to perform the same tests in a workspace for each management mode and then a comparison was made between them. The result of this study allows us to deal with the implementation of a new steering system in cars and / or means of transport to improve the current driving system.

Ongoing research aims at finding clues that reveal the existence of Under Extremely Low Frequency (UELF) classical electromagnetic waves. Considering their extreme wavelengths, ranging from the actual size of Jupiter up to millions of light years, UELF waves cannot fit within Earth, so the search for them needs to look after much larger regions in space. If UELF waves could interact with cosmic structures (like a galaxy or a planetary system), which dimensions scale with the corresponding wavelengths, then observable geometric patterns should be created and their existence revealed. This paper analyses the feasible trapping of UELF electromagnetic waves within cosmic structures with a disk geometry that has an approximately circular sharp edge. By making a direct analogy with an optical fiber slice, we find characteristic time periods in the order of tens of thousands of years for spiral galaxies like the Milky Way, and in the order of several hours for a solar systems like ours. Actual geometric patterns, like the planetary magnetic field alignment and the recently published 3D Milky Way mapping, support and encourage our research. While our search for clues supporting the existence of UELF waves continues, the present working paper provides novel elements of analysis to advance with it.

When a person loses the sense of sight, in general, it is suggested to use a white cane to perform daily activities. However, using a white cane limits the movement of a person. In addition, guide dogs can be served in this impairment. However, the acquisition and maintenance of a guide dog is extremely high for people in development countries. In this regard, this paper presents a proof-of-concept of a low-cost robotic system able to guide a visual impaired, as a guide dog. The robot is specially designed for climbing stairs at indoors, and it uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) for both object detection and hand gesture recognition for special instructions from the user. Experimental results showed that our prototype robot can climb stairs with 86.7% of efficiency in concrete stair surfaces. Also, the visual representation by CNN performed more than 98% accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a new methodology for autonomous obstacle avoidance control using a bio-inspired optical flow estimation. The main difference with other methods is that we use an image model inspired by the human vision system to define the constraints in the optical flow formulation which includes a Hermite transform (HT) and a perceptive mask. We use a physical robot platform to test the control algorithm, where due to the structure of the chassis a forward, reverse and turn movements were defined. The robot has a RBG camera to capture images of the path and then calculate optical flow estimation. To define velocity and direction robot response we propose a fuzzy controller. Finally, we made some experiments to demonstrate the performance of control navigation, and how responds algorithm using HT and a perceptive mask.
