Unlike conventional mechanisms, compliant mechanisms produce the desired deformations by exploiting elastic strain and do not need, therefore, moving parts. The number of degrees of freedom of a conventional mechanism, also called mobility,…
The effectiveness of Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) manifold features has been proven in various computer vision tasks. However, due to the non-Euclidean geometry of these features, existing Euclidean machineries cannot be directly used.…
Multiple types can represent the same concept. For example, lists and trees can both represent sets. Unfortunately, this easily leads to incomplete libraries: some set-operations may only be available on lists, others only on trees.…
3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) users need to overcome several obstacles to benefit from the flexibility of programmatic interface tools. Besides the barriers of any programming language, users face challenges inherent to 3D spatial…
Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a technique to approximate generally non-linear dynamical systems using linear techniques, which are better understood and easier to analyze. Koopman theory extends DMD by transforming the original system…
The determination of the mobility of parallel mechanisms (PM) is a fundamental problem. An automatic and intelligent analysis platform will be a significant tool for the design and optimization of mechanical systems. Based on the theory of…
Superintegrable systems in 2D Darboux spaces were classified and it was found that there exist 12 distinct classes of superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion (and quadratic symmetry algebras generated by the integrals) in…
Two-dimensional mappings obtained by coupling two piecewise increasing expanding maps are considered. Their dynamics is described when the coupling parameter increases in the expanding domain. By introducing a coding and by analysing an…
Most Machine Learning (ML) methods, from clustering to classification, rely on a distance function to describe relationships between datapoints. For complex datasets it is hard to avoid making some arbitrary choices when defining a distance…
We study geodesically convex (g-convex) problems that can be written as a difference of Euclidean convex functions. This structure arises in several optimization problems in statistics and machine learning, e.g., for matrix scaling,…
We investigate multi-agent epistemic modal logic with common knowledge modalities for groups of agents and obtain van Benthem style model-theoretic characterisations, in terms of bisimulation invariance of classical first-order logic over…
Cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) is an important tool for the investigation of semi-algebraic sets, with applications in algebraic geometry and beyond. We have previously reported on an implementation of CAD in Maple which offers…
Modern model checking techniques concentrate on global properties of verified systems, because the methods base on global state space. Local features like partial deadlock or process termination are not easy to express and check. In the…
Real-time robot motion planning in complex high-dimensional environments remains an open problem. Motion planning algorithms, and their underlying collision checkers, are crucial to any robot control stack. Collision checking takes up a…
Terrain geometry is, in general, non-smooth, non-linear, non-convex, and, if perceived through a robot-centric visual unit, appears partially occluded and noisy. This work presents the complete control pipeline capable of handling the…
We introduce semiframes (an algebraic structure) and investigate their duality with semitopologies (a topological one). Both semitopologies and semiframes are relatively recent developments, arising from a novel application of topological…
We consider the class of profinite diffeological spaces, that is, diffeological spaces which diffeologies are deduced by pull-back of diffeologies on finite-dimensional manifolds through a system of projection mappings. This class includes…
The manuscript discusses the increasing use of location-aware radio communication systems to support operational processes for the demanding aircraft cabin environment. In this context, the challenges for evaluation and integration of…
A new numerical approach is proposed for the simulation of coupled three-dimensional and one-dimensional elliptic equations (3D-1D coupling) arising from dimensionality reduction of 3D-3D problems with thin inclusions. The method is based…
Assembly of large scale structural systems in space is understood as critical to serving applications that cannot be deployed from a single launch. Recent literature proposes the use of discrete modular structures for in-space assembly and…
