We study the motion model of a sensor rigidly mounted inside a ball. Due to the rigid placement inside the ball, the geometry of the sensor trajectory resembles a 3D curate trochoid. A new calibration method for spherical systems estimates the extrinsic parameters of the sensor with respect to the balls center of rotation. We deploy the calibration and motion model on our spherical mobile mapping platform to estimate the trajectory of a LiDAR sensor and compare it to trajectories of state-of-the-art LiDAR-Inertial odometry (LIO) methods. The motion model, which is solely based on IMU measurements, produces comparable results to the LIO methods, sometimes even outperforming them in positional accuracy. Although the LIO methods provide better rotational accuracy due to the utilization of LiDAR data, they struggle to reproduce the trochoidal nature of the trajectory and only provide pose estimations at the LiDAR frequency, whereas the motion model produces a more consistent trochoidal trajectory at the much higher IMU frequency. The results demonstrate the difficulty that current LIO methods have on spherical systems and indicate that our motion model is suitable for overcoming these issues.

In this paper, we discuss the opinion dynamics with bounded confidence in multi-agent systems under an infection spreading environment. The dynamics of the infection spreading processes follows the so-called susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model. Here, the infection induces faulty behaviors in the agents whose opinions may deviate from their true opinions. Cooperating with infection suppression policies and the resilient algorithm based on the mean sub-sequence reduced (MSR) approach, resilient consensus can be attained by the regular agents within a safe region. In particular, we establish sufficient conditions for resilient consensus of opinion dynamics with large bounded confidence. A numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Addressing driving fatigue is crucial among the various factors in traffic accidents. The origins of driver fatigue encompass prolonged driving, sleep deprivation, and the induction of stress inherent in driving. The causes of such driver fatigue were categorized into physical factors, including sleep deprivation and prolonged driving, and perceptional-behavioral factors such as perception of driving conditions. Numerous studies have explored technologies to detect driver fatigue in terms of relevance to sleep states, eye movements, electroencephalography (EEG) activation levels, and their functional connectivity. It was also found differences in the occurrence of driver fatigue and related theta and alpha band activity based on driving conditions. However, the factors contributing to these differences remained unexplored. This study seeks to investigate the causal relationship between driver fatigue induced in different driving environments and the corresponding brain activity. We focus on perceptional load, particularly the perception of traffic objects within the driving condition, and physical loads, such as steering, acceleration, and braking, associated with variations in driving environments. In the experiment, we evaluate the relationship between such differences in physical and mental load and the occurrence of fatigue dependent on the driving condition with considering EEG activation patterns. In the results, we found that the amount of load related to driver perception and operation inherent in driving environments plays a crucial role in driver fatigue.
