A crucial challenge in robotics is achieving reliable results in spite of sensing and control uncertainty. A prominent strategy for dealing with uncertainty is to construct a feedback policy, where actions are chosen as a ...

This paper describes BUILD, a computer program which generates plans for building specified structures out of simple objects such as toy blocks. A powerful heuristic control structure enables BUILD to use a number of ...

Thinning and breakup of liquid filaments are central to dripping of leaky faucets, inkjet drop formation, and raindrop fragmentation. As the filament radius decreases, curvature and capillary pressure, both inversely ...

We have created a framework for adding custom type qualifiers to the Javalanguage in a backward-compatible way. The type system designer definesthe qualifiers and creates a compiler plug-in that enforces theirsemantics. ...

We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowle ge of the POMDP and allows the experience to be gathered with an arbitrary set of policies. ...

Message policy is defined to be the description of the disposition of messages of a single type, when received by a group of processes. Group policy applies to all the processes of a group, but for a single message ...

A collection of programs tries to recognize, which one more successfully than its predecessor, 3-dimensional parallelepipeds (solids limited by 6 planes, parallel two-by-two), using as data 2-dimensional idealized projections. ...

We consider the non-uniform multicommodity buy-at-bulknetworkdesign problem. In this problem we are given a graph $G(V,E)$withtwo cost functions on the edges, a buy cost $b:E\longrightarrow \RR^+$and a rent cost$r:E\long ...

Cancer is a disease that exists globally. Among women, breast cancer is most prevalent. Breast cancer exhibits different degrees of aggressiveness. Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), which accounts for approximately ...

Polynomial continuation, a branch of numerical continuation, has been applied to several primary problems in kinematic geometry. The objective of the research presented in this document was to explore the possible ...

This thesis studies the structure of categories of polynomials, the diagrams that represent polynomial functors. Specifically, we construct new models of intensional dependent type theory based on these categories. Firstly, ...

POLYSEG takes as input a list of dotted pairs of numbers. These pairs are assumed to be the co-ordinates of adjacent points along a single closed line. It is further assumed that the x and y co-ordinates of successive ...
