Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for collision free path generation by connecting C-slices through cell decomposition. An environment is sampled at discrete headings of a vehicle to generate a configuration space (C-space) with one or more C-slices. A first C-slice is decomposed into one or more cells that represent free space. A C-slice adjacency list is generated for the first C-slice. A super adjacency list is derived that connects vertices of interest across the one or more C-slices to form a super adjacency graph. In embodiments, Dubins path is used for connecting the vertices of interest both within and across C-slices to ensure the kinematic feasibility of all the searched paths. An optimal path is navigated, wherein the optimal path is a shortest path from a starting pose to a goal pose on the super adjacency graph.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to methods of conjugating a molecule to a polypeptide by (1) modifying one or more thiol residues on the polypeptide, where the modifying includes cyanylation of the one or more thiol residues; and (2) associating the polypeptide with the molecule, where the associating results in the conjugation of the molecule to the polypeptide through a reaction between a nucleophilic moiety on the molecule and the one or more modified thiol residues. The cyanylation may include attachment of cyano groups to sulfur atoms of the one or more thiol residues to form thiocyanato groups that undergo reversible intramolecular addition with a nearby N-amide group to generate a 1-acyl-2-iminothiazolidine intermediate. Thereafter, the nucleophilic moiety on the molecule reacts with the 1-acyl-2-iminothiazolidine intermediate to replace 2-iminothiazolidine in a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction and result in the conjugation of the molecule to the polypeptide.
