Robots that can move autonomously and can make intelligent decisions by perceiving their environments and surrounding objects are known as autonomous mobile robots. Such robots have rapidly moved from laboratories to automated industries to fill a variety of roles in our lives, homes, offices, hospitals, industries, and even on the streets. The interest in mobile robots is growing rapidly, prompting an enormous amount of research over the last 30 years, on critical factors of mobile robots such as locomotion, perception, localization, mapping, ego-motion tracking, and dynamic navigation. This article surveys these essential factors of autonomous mobile robots in terms of mathematical modeling, control issues, and challenging factors. Brief discussions are provided on the fundamentals of these technologies, popular algorithms in comprehensive mode, future challenges, and promising directions to guide the construction of an autonomous mobile robot with high accuracy and effectiveness. Since it is difficult to find complete coverage of those topics in a single location, this article provides a guideline for researchers entering the field or for innovators in the mobile robotics sector. The paper also examines open challenges in indoor mobile robots and identifies potential futures for autonomous mobile robots.

Battery ensures power solutions for many necessary portable devices such as electric vehicles, mobiles, and laptops. Owing to the rapid growth of Li-ion battery users, unwanted incidents involving Li-ion batteries have also increased to some extent. In particular, the sudden breakdown of industrial and lightweight machinery due to battery failure causes a substantial economic loss for the industry. Consequently, battery state estimation, management system, and estimation of the remaining useful life (RUL) have become a topic of interest for researchers. Considering this, appropriate battery data acquisition and proper information on available battery data sets may require. This review paper is mainly focused on three parts. The first one is battery data acquisitions with commercially and freely available Li-ion battery data set information. The second is the estimation of the states of battery with the battery management system. And third is battery RUL estimation. Various RUL prognostic methods applied for Li-ion batteries are classified, discussed, and reviewed based on their essential performance parameters. Information on commercially and publicly available data sets of many battery models under various conditions is also reviewed. Various battery states are reviewed considering advanced battery management systems. To that end, a comparative study of Li-ion battery RUL prediction is provided together with the investigation of various RUL prediction algorithms and mathematical modelling.INDEX TERMS Battery datasets, battery data repository, remaining useful life (RUL), battery management, li-ion battery, RUL prediction methods.

Abstract-In distributed computing system some nodes are very fast and some are slow and during the computation many fast nodes become idle or under loaded while the slow nodes become over loaded due to the uneven distribution of load in the system. In distributed system, the most common important factor is the information collection about loads on different nodes. The success of load balancing algorithm depends on how quickly the information about the load in the system is collected by a node willing to transfer or accept load. In this paper we have shown that the number of communication overheads depends on the number of overloaded nodes present in the domain of an under loaded nodes and vice-versa. We have also shown that communication overhead for load balancing is always fairly less than KN but in worst case our algorithm's complexity becomes equal to KN.
