We consider the sparse inverse covariance regularization problem or graphical lasso with regularization parameter λ. Suppose the sample covariance graph formed by thresholding th...
Abstract— The problem addressed is the distributed reconfiguration of a metamorphic robot system composed of any number of two dimensional robots (modules). The initial configu...

We present progress with roBlocks, a reconfigurable modular robotic system for education. Children snap together small, magnetic, heterogeneous modules to create larger, more comp...
We present a generic module, called Fast Collect. Fast Collect is an implementation of Single-Writer Multi-Reader (SWMR) Shared-Memory in an asynchronous system in which a process...
