More collaborations emerging between China's industrial behemoths and its space sector 🚀 🚗 This time, we have BYD sub-brand Fangchengbao (方程豹) announcing a collaboration with China Rocket with much fanfare. Established in mid-2023, Fangchengbao is a high-end brand under BYD, with its cars portrayed as rugged, offroad vehicles. The collaboration is vague, but likely involves Fangchengbao shuttling Chinese taikonauts around the launch site prior to launch, reminiscent of the way that Teslas are used for Dragon launches. #ChinaSpaceGuy https://lnkd.in/gxEyxMzd

Happy birthday - yet another anniversary to celebrate 🎉 The world's first high-speed train ran 60 years ago today. We are of course talking about the #Shinkansen. To this day, the Japanese phenomenon is a model of safety, comfort and punctuality. 🚄 The maiden voyage on 1 October 1964 ran from Tokyo to Osaka. Since then, the route network has been extended to over 2,000 kilometres in length and now runs through the entire country. Incidentally, there is no such thing as ‘the’ Shinkansen. Over the years, engineers have developed over 20 Shinkansen types. The train is also exported. You can board the characteristic vehicle in China and Taiwan, and it is also set to be used in the USA and India in the future. 🇨🇳🇹🇼🇺🇸🇮🇳 We recently reported on its use in India on our blog, take a look if you haven't read it yet. https://lnkd.in/esEzUvsv #railway #railwayindustry #highspeedtrains

Achievement alert! Chao, Max, and Jingxiang's paper, titled "Time-Optimal Gate-Traversing Planner for Autonomous Drone Racing," has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (#ICRA) Best Paper Award on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The 2024 ICRA is scheduled for May 13-17, in Yokohama, Japan, and the interactive poster session for award finalist papers will be held on May 15. Abstract of the paper "In drone racing, the time-minimum trajectory is affected by the drone's capabilities, the layout of the race track, and the configurations of the gates (e.g., their shapes and sizes). However, previous studies neglect the configuration of the gates, simply rendering drone racing a waypoint-passing task. This formulation often leads to a conservative choice of paths through the gates, as the spatial potential of the gates is not fully utilized. To address this issue, we present a time-optimal planner that can faithfully model gate constraints with various configurations and thereby generate a more time-efficient trajectory while considering the single-rotor-thrust limits. Our approach excels in computational efficiency which only takes a few seconds to compute the full state and control trajectories of the drone through tracks with dozens of different gates. Extensive simulations and experiments confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, showing that the lap time can be further reduced by taking into account the gate's configuration. We validate our planner in real-world flights and demonstrate super-extreme flight trajectory through race tracks." Authors: Chao Qin, Max Michet, Jingxiang Chen, and Hugh Liu.
