Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) have succeeded in planning domains that require balancing actions that increase an agent's knowledge and actions that ...
Abstract—Flexible and reliable connection is critical for selfreconfiguration, self-assembly, or self-healing. However, most existing connection mechanisms suffer from a deficien...
— This paper presents a mechanism and a control strategy that enables automated non-contact manipulation of spherical objects in three dimensions using air flow, and demonstrate...
Abstract— This paper presents a solution to interactive navigation planning and real-time simulation of a very large number of entities moving in a virtual environment. From the ...
— This paper presents an approach for haptic rendering of topological constraints to users operating serial virtual linkages. In the proposed approach, a haptic device controller...
