In this research report details of design of a miniature wheel arrangement are presented. This miniature wheel arrangement is essentially a direction control mechanism intended for use on a mobile robot platform or base. The design is a…
This paper introduces an extendable modular system that compiles a range of music feature extraction models to aid music information retrieval research. The features include musical elements like key, downbeats, and genre, as well as audio…
The advantage of modular self-reconfigurable robot systems is their flexibility, but this advantage can only be realized if appropriate configurations (shapes) and behaviors (controlling programs) can be selected for a given task. In this…
Orthogonal array, a classical and effective tool for collecting data, has been flourished with its applications in modern computer experiments and engineering statistics. Driven by the wide use of computer experiments with both qualitative…
Most electronic devices utilize mechanical keyboards to receive inputs, including sensitive information such as authentication credentials, personal and private data, emails, plans, etc. However, these systems are susceptible to acoustic…
Several authors have introduced various type of coherent-like rings and proved analogous results on these rings. It appears that all these relative coherent rings and all the used techniques can be unified. In [2], several coherent-like…
Modular and reconfigurable robotic systems have been designed to provide a customized solution for the non-repetitive tasks to be performed in a constrained environment. Customized solutions are normally extracted from task-based…
Computability theory is traditionally conceived as the theoretical basis of informatics. Nevertheless, numerous proposals transcend computability theory, in particular by emphasizing interaction of modules, or components, parts,…
Blind users rely on keyboards and assistive technologies like screen readers to interact with user interface (UI) elements. In modern applications with complex UI hierarchies, navigating to different UI elements poses a significant…
The wide variety of wireless devices brings to design mobile applications as a collection of interchangeable software components adapted to the deployment environment of the software. To ensure the proper functioning of the software…
The study of harmonic scales of musical instruments is discussed in all introductory physics texts devoted to the science of sound. In this paper, we present a new piano keyboard to make the so-called Bohlen-Pierce scale more functional and…
The development of stretchable and flexible electronics based on soft polymeric substrates requires novel approaches in the design, fabrication, integration, and packaging of passive and active electronic components. Here we demonstrate the…
Inspired from human cognition, machine learning systems are gradually revealing advantages of sparser and more modular architectures. Recent work demonstrates that not only do some modular architectures generalize well, but they also lead…
In this paper, we present an algorithmic approach to design and construct planar truss structures based on symmetric lattices using modular elements. The method of assembly is similar to Leonardo grids as they both rely on the property of…
To couple many independent modes from free space to on chip, the key challenge is not enhancing the many necessary coupling rates (scattering-matrix elements) between targeted mode pairs. Instead, the key is to avoid additional…
For a robot to be perfect and enter the everyday life of humans,like computers did, it needs to move from special-purpose robots to general-purpose. So, the idea of modularity is considered in this project.Thus, any type of task that falls…
In the context of a group project for the course COMSW4995 002 - Geometric Data Analysis, we bring our attention to the design of fast-typing keyboards. Leveraging some geometric tools in an optimization framework allowed us to propose…
The possible use of spin and magnets in place of charge and capacitors to store and process information is well known. Magnetic tunnel junctions are being widely investigated and developed for magnetic random access memories. These are two…
Selecting an object or element is a fundamental operation in any graphic user interface. It is necessary to select an object before doing any operation (such as, dragging, copying, opening, deleting etc.) on that object. The GUI may provide…
Moving a module in a modular robot is a very complex and error-prone process. Unlike in swarm, in the modular robots we are targeting, the moving module must keep the connection to, at least, one other module. In order to miniaturize each…
