— An active cannula is a medical device composed of thin, pre-curved, telescoping tubes that may enable many new surgical procedures. Planning optimal motions for these devices i...
This paper describes an unsupervised algorithm for segmenting categorical time series. The algorithm first collects statistics about the frequency and boundary entropy of ngrams, t...
We describe a statistical signature of chunks and an algorithm for finding chunks. While there is no formal definition of chunks, they may be reliably identified as configurat...
During teleoperation, the automatic identification of remote environment properties has the potential of improving performance by providing task-specific feedback to the operator. ...
—Motion information is an important cue for a robot to separate foreground moving objects from the static background world. Based on the observation that the motion of the backgr...
