Segregation in swarms of mobile robots based on the Brazil nut effect
— We study a simple algorithm inspired by the Brazil nut effect for achieving segregation in a swarm of mobile robots. The algorithm lets each robot mimic a particle of a certain...

Blocking parameterizations for improving the computational tractability of affine disturbance feedback MPC problems
Many model predictive control (MPC) schemes suffer from high computational complexity. Especially robust MPC schemes, which explicitly account for the effects of disturbances, can ...

Effects of display blurring on the behavior of novices and experts during program debugging
The Restricted Focus Viewer (RFV) relates a small part of an otherwise blurred display to the focus of visual attention. A user controls which part of the screen is in focus by us...
