In robots, nonprehensile manipulation operations such as pushing are a useful way of moving large, heavy or unwieldy objects, moving multiple objects at once, or reducing uncertainty in the location or pose of objects. In this study, we…
Articulated objects like doors, drawers, valves, and tools are pervasive in our everyday unstructured dynamic environments. Articulation models describe the joint nature between the different parts of an articulated object. As most of these…
Nonlinear exceptional points (NEPs), a new type of spectral singularity in nonlinear non-Hermitian systems, are expected to address the noise divergence issue encountered at linear exceptional points and are therefore under the scrutiny of…
To improve sound quality in hearing devices, the hearing device output should be appropriately equalized. To achieve optimal individualized equalization typically requires knowledge of all transfer functions between the source, the hearing…
We extend the mechanism for noise-induced phase transitions proposed by Ibanes et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 020601-1 (2001)] to pattern formation phenomena. In contrast with known mechanisms for pure noise-induced pattern formation, this…
This paper presents a detailed noise analysis and a noise-based optimization procedure for resonant MEMS structures. A design for high sensitivity of MEMS structures needs to take into account the noise shaping induced by damping phenomena…
Plantar pressure measurements can provide valuable insight into various health characteristics in patients. In this study, we describe different plantar pressure devices available on the market and their clinical relevance. Current devices…
We introduce skipping refinement, a new notion of correctness for reasoning about optimized reactive systems. Reasoning about reactive systems using refinement involves defining an abstract, high-level specification system and a concrete,…
In most computer vision and image analysis problems, it is necessary to define a similarity measure between two or more different objects or images. Template matching is a classic and fundamental method used to score similarities between…
Pulsar timing is a valuable source of high-precision astrophysical measurements which can be used to probe gravitational physics, including by detecting gravitational waves. An important factor limiting the precision of these measurements…
The acoustic space in which a sound is created and heard plays an essential role in how that sound is perceived by affording a unique sense of \textit{presence}. Every sound we hear results from successive convolution operations intrinsic…
Fault-tolerant quantum computing based on surface codes has emerged as a popular route to large-scale quantum computers capable of accurate computation even in the presence of noise. Its popularity is, in part, because the fault-tolerance…
This study investigates two unavoidable noise factors: electronic noise and radiation scattering, associated with detectors and their electronics. This study proposes a novel methodology to estimate electronic and scattering noise…
Diffusion models have recently emerged as powerful generative frameworks for producing high-quality images. A pivotal component of these models is the noise schedule, which governs the rate of noise injection during the diffusion process.…
