Learning Cost Function and Trajectory for Robotic Writing Motion

We present algorithms for inferring the cost function and reference trajectory from human demonstrations of hand-writing tasks. These two key elements are then used, through optimal control, to generate an impedance-based controller for a robotic hand . Th ...

A transformable tensegrity-ring footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. A tension-compression equilibrium leads to lightweight systems that change shape through length changes in their members. Active members thus control several degrees of ...

A Multi Cue Discriminative Approach to Semantic Place Classification

Barbara Caputo, Marco Fornoni, Jesús Martínez Gómez

This paper describes the participation of Idiap-MULTI to the Robot Vision Task at imageCLEF 2010. Our approach was based on a discriminative classification algorithm using multiple cues. Specically, we used an SVM and combined up to four different histogra ...

Multi-Robot Exploration and Fire Searching

Ali Marjovi

Exploration of an unknown environment is a fundamental concern in mobile robotics. This paper presents an approach for cooperative multi-robot exploration, fire searching and mapping in an unknown environment. The proposed approach aims to minimize the ove ...

DPOR-DS: Dynamic Partial Order Reduction in Distributed Systems

Dejan Kostic, Maysam Yabandeh

In this paper, we present DPOR-DS, an algorithm for dynamic partial order reduction in model checking of distributed systems. This work is inspired by the techniques introduced in the seminal work of DPOR which is designed for multi-threaded systems. Diffe ...

Gene Expression Data Analysis Using a Novel Approach to Biclustering Combining Discrete and Continuous Data

Lei Zhang, Yann Christinat

Many different methods exist for pattern detection in gene expression data. In contrast to classical methods, biclustering has the ability to cluster a group of genes together with a group of conditions (replicates, set of patients, or drug compounds). How ...

Coordination schemes for distributed boundary coverage with a swarm of miniature robots

Nicolaus Correll

We provide a comparison of a series of original coordination mechanisms for the distributed boundary coverage problem with a swarm of miniature robots. Our analysis is based on real robot experimentation and models at different levels of abstraction. Distr ...

$ H _{ 2 } $ O: Reversible Hexagonal-Orthogonal Grid Conversion by 1-D Filtering

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

In this work, we propose a new grid conversion algorithm between the hexagonal lattice and the orthogonal (a.k.a. Cartesian) lattice. The conversion process, named

H _{ 2 }

O, is easy to implement and is perfectly reversible using the same algorithm to ...
