The most exciting challenge for CRIS is to create a service for research information which should be wide-spread, distributed and actual like Google, but at the same time structured, trusted, with a complex search and navigation similar to…
The Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) is a data model providing a set of binary Boolean operators such as Union, Difference and Intersection. In this work, these operators are used to compute topological relations between objects defined by…
In this work, we investigate a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided integrated sensing and communication scenario, where a base station (BS) communicates with multiple devices in a full-duplex mode, and senses the positions of…
At the beginning of 2018, there is a growing belief that blockchain technologies constitute a revolutionary innovation in how we transfer value electronically. In that vein, blockchain may be a suitable complement to ontologies to achieve a…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) describes a central data pool covering the entire life cycle of a construction project. Similarly, Building Energy Modeling (BEM) describes the process of using a 3D representation of a building as a…
Autonomous mobile robots can rely on several human motion detection and prediction systems for safe and efficient navigation in human environments, but the underline model architectures can have different impacts on the trustworthiness of…
Previous work on spoken language understanding (SLU) mainly focuses on single-intent settings, where each input utterance merely contains one user intent. This configuration significantly limits the surface form of user utterances and the…
This paper presents HyperGraph ROS, an open-source robot operating system that unifies intra-process, inter-process, and cross-device computation into a computational hypergraph for efficient message passing and parallel execution. In order…
Object-goal navigation requires mobile robots to efficiently locate targets with visual and spatial information, yet existing methods struggle with generalization in unseen environments. Heuristic approaches with naive metrics fail in…
To leverage machine learning in any decision-making process, one must convert the given knowledge (for example, natural language, unstructured text) into representation vectors that can be understood and processed by machine learning model…
We investigate the capabilities of transfer learning in the area of structural health monitoring. In particular, we are interested in damage detection for concrete structures. Typical image datasets for such problems are relatively small,…
Data stream learning has been largely studied for extracting knowledge structures from continuous and rapid data records. In the semantic Web, data is interpreted in ontologies and its ordered sequence is represented as an ontology stream.…
Ontology alignment (a.k.a ontology matching (OM)) plays a critical role in knowledge integration. Owing to the success of machine learning in many domains, it has been applied in OM. However, the existing methods, which often adopt ad-hoc…
We present an approach to the distributed storage of data across a swarm of mobile robots that forms a shared global memory. We assume that external storage infrastructure is absent, and that each robot is capable of devoting a quota of…
The proliferation of artificial intelligence has enabled a diversity of applications that bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds. As physical environments are too complex to model through a single information acquisition…
Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is expected to become the central infrastructure to provide advanced services to connected vehicles and users for higher transportation efficiency and security. A variety of emerging applications/services bring…
Navigating complex, densely packed environments like retail stores, warehouses, and hospitals poses a significant spatial grounding challenge for humans and embodied AI. In these spaces, dense visual features quickly become stale given the…
Buildings contain electro-mechanical systems that ensure the occupants' comfort, health, and safety. The functioning of these systems is automated through control programs, which are often available as reusable artifacts in a software…
Autonomous navigation is a long-standing field of robotics research, which provides an essential capability for mobile robots to execute a series of tasks on the same environments performed by human everyday. In this chapter, we present a…
Autonomous agents rely on sensor data to construct representations of their environments, essential for predicting future events and planning their actions. However, sensor measurements suffer from limited range, occlusions, and sensor…
