Addressing irregular cutting and packing (C&P) optimization problems poses two distinct challenges: the geometric challenge of determining whether or not an item can be placed feasibly at a certain position, and the optimization challenge…
Object recognition has seen significant progress in the image domain, with focus primarily on 2D perception. We propose to leverage existing large-scale datasets of 3D models to understand the underlying 3D structure of objects seen in an…
Based on the ideas of quantum theory of open systems (QTOS) we propose the consistent approach to study probabilistic many-valued propositional logic of intelligent devices that are composed from separate but interconnected logical units.…

This paper presents a new approach for 6DoF Direct LiDAR-Inertial Odometry (D-LIO) based on the simultaneous mapping of truncated distance fields on CPU. Such continuous representation (in the vicinity of the points) enables working with…
This study extends the use of symbolic computation in Matrix Structural Analysis (MSA) to plane (2D) trusses, building on previous work that focused on continuous beams. An open-source MATLAB program, hosted on GitHub, was developed to…
Recent research in materials science opens exciting perspectives to design novel quantum materials and devices, but it calls for quantitative predictions of properties which are not accessible in standard first principles packages. PAOFLOW…
The ability to solve motion-planning queries within a fixed time budget is critical for deploying robotic systems in time-sensitive applications. Semi-static environments, where most of the workspace remains fixed while a subset of…

Even though mobile robots have been around for decades, trajectory optimization and continuous time collision avoidance remain subject of active research. Existing methods trade off between path quality, computational complexity, and…
Diverse optimization algorithms correctly identify, in finite time, intrinsic constraints that must be active at optimality. Analogous behavior extends beyond optimization to systems involving partly smooth operators, and in particular to…
Parallel kinematic mechanisms are interesting alternative designs for machining applications. Three 2-DOF parallel mechanism architectures dedicated to machining applications are studied in this paper. The three mechanisms have two constant…
Reliable localization is essential for sustainable forest management, as it allows robots or sensor systems to revisit and monitor the status of individual trees over long periods. In modern forestry, this management is structured around…
In many situations it is required to perform an inspection of large at parts on a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) when it is impossible to probe all necessary surfaces from one position of the part. Or it is necessary to measure a large…
Our middleware approach, Context-Oriented Software Middleware (COSM), supports context-dependent software with self-adaptability and dependability in a mobile computing environment. The COSM-middleware is a generic and platform-independent…
Complex systems of systems (SoS) are characterized by multiple interconnected subsystems. Typically, each subsystem is designed and analyzed using methodologies and formalisms that are specific to the particular subsystem model of…
Machine learning models fit complex algorithms to arbitrarily large datasets. These algorithms are well-known to be high on performance and low on interpretability. We use interactive visualization of slices of predictor space to address…
We give two low-complexity algorithms, one for dimensionality reduction and one for dimensionality increase, which are applicable to any dataset, regardless of whether the set has an intrinsic dimension or not. The corresponding methods…
