star-world, StarWorld, Starworld, Star world, or variant, may refer to:
Star worlds are mathematical concepts used in robot navigation. Essentially, a star world is any n-dimensional shape that can be mapped to a sphere world of the same dimension. For example, a cube is a star world because every point on the box can be mapped onto a sphere, and a pentagon is a two dimensional star world because every point on its perimeter can be mapped onto a circle.
Star worlds are useful for modeling simple worlds, robots and obstacles. To model more complex robots, one needs to construct a forest of stars.
Star World (stylized as StarWorld) is a 24-hour Asian English language cable and satellite television channel owned by STAR TV and Fox International Channels, two fully owned subsidiaries of 21st Century Fox. It is the successor to Star Plus, which is now one of its sister channels. The channel mostly syndicates popular shows from the United States, the United Kingdom and sometimes Australia to appeal to English-speaking locals as well as the expatriate population of South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
Star World was earlier named Star Plus. It was first launched on 15 December 1991, and is a 24-hour English-language television channel showcasing international content from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia with Zee TV being the Hindi satellite television channel and its India counterpart was Zee Telefilm and India was Zee TV. But after STAR TV ended its partnership with Zee Telefilm, STAR Plus started telecasting the 1991 British comedy television programme series Mr. Bean (from ITV) with English dubbing and Chinese subtitles while STAR News showed the delayed telecasts of English news programmes.
