Dynamically changing graphs are used in many applications of graph algorithms. The scope of these graphs are in graphics, communication networks and in VLSI designs where graphs are subjected to change, such as addition and deletion of…

Despite staggering growth over the past couple of decades, the concept of the metaverse is still in its early stages. Eventually, it is expected to become a common medium connecting every individual. Considering the complexity of this…

Teaching object-oriented programming in an introductory programming course poses considerable challenges to the instructor. An often advocated approach to meeting this challenge is the use of a simple, object-oriented graphics library. We…

While there has been remarkable progress recently in the fields of manipulation and locomotion, mobile manipulation remains a long-standing challenge. Compared to locomotion or static manipulation, a mobile system must make a diverse range…

We propose a simple and effective tool for the expression of tasks such as cross-layer optimization strategies or sensors-related applications. The approach is based on what we refer to as "reflective and refractive variables". Both types…

The visual world around us can be described as a structured set of objects and their associated relations. An image of a room may be conjured given only the description of the underlying objects and their associated relations. While there…

There has been a widespread emergence of computing devices in the past few years that go beyond the capabilities of traditional desktop computers. However, users want to use the same kinds of applications and access the same data and…

Editing 2D icon images can require significant manual effort from designers. It involves manipulating multiple geometries while maintaining the logical or physical coherence of the objects depicted in the image. Previous language driven…

Visual affordance segmentation identifies image regions of an object an agent can interact with. Existing methods re-use and adapt learning-based architectures for semantic segmentation to the affordance segmentation task and evaluate on…

When limited by their own morphologies, humans and some species of animals have the remarkable ability to use objects from the environment toward accomplishing otherwise impossible tasks. Robots might similarly unlock a range of additional…

In this article, we propose a novel navigation framework that leverages a two layered graph representation of the environment for efficient large-scale exploration, while it integrates a novel uncertainty awareness scheme to handle dynamic…

We present a generalized framework for cellular/lattice based visualizations in two dimensions based on state of the art computing abstractions. Our implementation takes the form of a library of reusable functions written in C++ which hides…

The movement for open-design focuses on the creation of machines, physical systems, and products using design information shared publicly. It consists of the development of systems incorporating open-source hardware and software which can…

This paper deals with the problem of point-to-point reachability in multi-linear systems. These systems consist of a partition of the Euclidean space into a finite number of regions and a constant derivative assigned to each region in the…

Many modern learning tasks require models that can take inputs of varying sizes. Consequently, dimension-independent architectures have been proposed for domains where the inputs are graphs, sets, and point clouds. Recent work on graph…

While both navigation and manipulation are challenging topics in isolation, many tasks require the ability to both navigate and manipulate in concert. To this end, we propose a mobile manipulation system that leverages novel navigation and…

In this paper we define "piecewise scalable frames". This new scaling process allows us to alter many frames to Parseval frames which is impossible by the previous standard scaling. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a frame to…

Our current world is linked by a complex mesh of networks where information, people and goods flow. These networks are interdependent each other, and present structural and dynamical features different from those observed in isolated…

Direct manipulation has been established as the main interaction paradigm for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for decades. It provides fast, incremental, and reversible actions that allow for an iterative process on a visual representation of…

In wireless distributed computing, networked nodes perform intermediate computations over data placed in their memory and exchange these intermediate values to calculate function values. In this paper we consider an asymmetric setting where…
