Feature selection for grasp recognition from optical markers
Abstract— Although the human hand is a complex biomechanical system, only a small set of features may be necessary for observation learning of functional grasp classes. We explor...

A decentralized planner that guarantees the safety of communicating vehicles with complex dynamics that replan online
— This paper considers the problem of coordinating multiple vehicles with kinodynamic constraints that operate in the same partially-known environment. The vehicles are able to c...
