High Spatial Resolution BRDFs with Metallic powders Using Wave Optics Analysis
(2013-04-24)
This manuscript completes the analysis of our SIGGRAPH 2013 paper "Fabricating BRDFs at High Spatial Resolution Using Wave Optics" in which photolithography fabrication was used for manipulating reflectance effects. While ...
Decision Uncertainty Minimization and Autonomous Information Gathering
(2013-08-22)
Over the past several decades, technologies for remote sensing and exploration have be- come increasingly powerful but continue to face limitations in the areas of information gathering and analysis. These limitations ...
Fast, Approximate State Estimation of Concurrent Probabilistic Hybrid Automata
(2013-12-11)
It is an undeniable fact that autonomous systems are simultaneously becoming more common place, more complex, and deployed in more inhospitable environments. Examples include smart homes, smart cars, Mars rovers, unmanned ...
continuous Relaxation to Over-constrained Temporal Plans
(2013-01-25)
When humans fail to understand the capabilities of an autonomous system or its environmental limitations, they can jeopardize their objectives and the system by asking for unrealistic goals. The objective of this thesis ...
Risk Allocation for Temporal Risk Assessment
(2013-01-31)
Temporal uncertainty arises when performing any activity in the natural world. When activities are composed into temporal plans, then, there is a risk of not meeting the plan requirements. Currently, we do not have ...
