-Navigation through narrow and irregular gaps is an essential skill in autonomous drones for applications such as inspection, search-and-rescue, and disaster response. However, traditional planning and control methods rely on explicit gap…
A data analyst might worry about generalization if dropping a very small fraction of data points from a study could change its substantive conclusions. Checking this non-robustness directly poses a combinatorial optimization problem and is…
