Contract-based design is a method to facilitate modular system design. While there has been substantial progress on the theory of contracts, there has been less progress on scalable algorithms for the algebraic operations in this theory. In…
This paper offers a new point of view on component separation, based on a model of additive components which enjoys a much greater flexibility than more traditional linear component models. This flexibility is needed to process the complex…
This paper describes a new parallel kinematic architecture for machining applications: the orthoglide. This machine features three fixed parallel linear joints which are mounted orthogonally and a mobile platform which moves in the…
To understand how well a proposed augmented reality (AR) solution works, existing papers often conducted tailored and isolated evaluations for specific AR tasks, e.g., depth or lighting estimation, and compared them to easy-to-setup…
Controlling hybrid systems is mostly very challenging due to the variety of dynamics these systems can exhibit. Inspired by the concept of differential flatness of nonlinear continuous systems and their inherent invertibility property, the…
In this method, service of one load balancer can be borrowed or shared among other load balancers when any correction is needed in the estimation of the load.
The concept of 'deformable arm scale' (completely different from a traditional rigid arm balance) is theoretically introduced and experimentally validated. The idea is not intuitive, but is the result of nonlinear equilibrium kinematics of…
Landing robotic spacecrafts and humans on Mars has become one of the inevitable technological necessities for humans. Effectuating perfect Mars expedition requires landing of enormous cargoes, crewed modules, ascent vehicles, and scientific…
