Localization and mapping are key requirements for autonomous mobile systems to perform navigation and interaction tasks.Iterative Closest Point (ICP) is widely applied for LiDAR scan-matching in the robotic community.In addition, the standard ICP algorithm only considers geometric information when iteratively searching for the nearest point.However
Disability-inclusive community development: A case of a community garden in Limpopo province in South Africa
Background: Persons with disabilities living in rural areas are marginalised and excluded in most developmental initiatives in South Africa.They face many economic, political and social problems; hence, improving their quality of life is a daunting and challenging task which needs interventions from both the state and non-governmental stakeholders.
Early-life begging effort reduces adult body mass but strengthens behavioural defence of the rate of energy intake in European starlings
Animals require strategies for coping with periods when food is scarce.Such strategies include storing fat as a buffer, and defending the rate of energy intake by KOR CHEM changing foraging behaviour when food becomes difficult to obtain.Storage and behavioural defence may constitute alternative strategies for solving the same problem.We would thus
