Many systems occurring in real-world applications, such as controlling the motions of robots or modeling the spread of diseases, are switched impulsive systems. To ensure that the system state stays in a safe region (e.g., to avoid…
Despite the promise of autonomous agentic reasoning, existing workflow generation methods frequently produce fragile, unexecutable plans due to unconstrained LLM-driven construction. We introduce MermaidFlow, a framework that redefines the…
The rapid growth of scientific software has created practical barriers for bioinformatics research. Although powerful statistical, artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods are now widely available, their effective use is often hindered by…
The present article introduces a reference framework for discussing resilience of computational systems. Rather than a property that may or may not be exhibited by a system, resilience is interpreted here as the emerging result of a dynamic…
We introduce a novel simulation-based approach to identify hazards that result from unexpected worker behavior in human-robot collaboration. Simulation-based safety testing must take into account the fact that human behavior is variable and…
Perception and decision-making in high-speed dynamic scenarios remain challenging for current robots. In contrast, humans and animals can rapidly perceive and make decisions in such environments. Taking table tennis as a typical example,…
