Neural Joint Space Implicit Signed Distance Functions for Reactive Robot Manipulator Control

Aude Billard, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez, Mikhail Koptev

In this paper, we present an approach for learning a neural implicit signed distance function expressed in joint space coordinates, that efficiently computes distance-to-collisions for arbitrary robotic manipulator configurations. Computing such distances ...

A machine learning approach for power gating the FPGA routing network

Mirjana Stojilovic, Hossein Asadi

Power gating is a common approach for reducing circuit static power consumption. In FPGAs, resources that dominate static power consumption lie in the routing network. Researchers have proposed several heuristics for clustering multiplexers in the routing ...
