We introduce $(k,l)$-regular maps, which generalize two previously studied classes of maps: affinely $k$-regular maps and totally skew embeddings. We exhibit some explicit examples and obtain bounds on the least dimension of a Euclidean…

Many methods in learning from demonstration assume that the demonstrator has knowledge of the full environment. However, in many scenarios, a demonstrator only sees part of the environment and they continuously replan as they gather…

A classical problem of mechanics involves a projectile fired from a given point with a given velocity whose direction is varied. This results in a family of trajectories whose envelope defines the border of a 'safe' domain. In the simple…
