Robot grasping of desktop object is widely used in intelligent manufacturing, logistics, and agriculture.Although vision-language models (VLMs) show strong potential for robotic manipulation, their deployment in low-level grasping faces key…
In the paper arguments are given why the concept of static evaluation has the potential to be a useful extension to Monte Carlo tree search. A new concept of modeling static evaluation through a dynamical system is introduced and strengths…
Grasping of diverse objects in unstructured environments remains a significant challenge. Open-loop grasping methods, effective in controlled settings, struggle in cluttered environments. Grasp prediction errors and object pose changes…
Stepwise inference protocols, such as scratchpads and chain-of-thought, help language models solve complex problems by decomposing them into a sequence of simpler subproblems. Despite the significant gain in performance achieved via these…
In programming, better tools often yield better results. For that, modern programming environments offer mechanisms to allow for their extensibility. The closer those tools are to the code, the easier it is for programmers to map the…
Computer algebra systems are complex software systems that cover a wide range of scientific and practical problems. However, the absolute coverage cannot be achieved. Often, it is required to create a user extension for an existing computer…
One of our long term research goals is to develop systems to answer realistic questions (e.g., some mentioned in textbooks) about biological pathways that a biologist may ask. To answer such questions we need formalisms that can model…
In this paper we present ProSLAM, a lightweight stereo visual SLAM system designed with simplicity in mind. Our work stems from the experience gathered by the authors while teaching SLAM to students and aims at providing a highly modular…
The basic principle of graph rewriting is the stepwise replacement of subgraphs inside a host graph. A challenge in such replacement steps is the treatment of the patch graph, consisting of those edges of the host graph that touch the…
Appropriate evaluation is a key component in visualization research. It is typically based on empirical studies that assess visualization components or complete systems. While such studies often include the user of the visualization,…
Recent advancements in robotic grasping have led to its integration as a core module in many manipulation systems. For instance, language-driven semantic segmentation enables the grasping of any designated object or object part. However,…
The processor accelerators are effective because they are working not (completely) on principles of stored program computers. They use some kind of parallelism, and it is rather hard to program them effectively: a parallel architecture by…
A new approach to designing processor accelerators is presented. A new computing model and a special kind of accelerator with dynamic (end-user programmable) architecture is suggested. The new model considers a processor, in which a newly…
This paper is a summary of the recently accomplished research work on flexible gripping systems. The goal is to develop a gripper which can be used for a great amount of geometrically variant workpieces. The economic aspect is of particular…
A system, which implements persistent objects, has to provide different opportunities to change the objects in arbitrary ways during their existence. A traditional realization of OO paradigm in modern programming systems has fundamental…
We cast visual imitation as a visual correspondence problem. Our robotic agent is rewarded when its actions result in better matching of relative spatial configurations for corresponding visual entities detected in its workspace and…
Graph transformers are a recent advancement in machine learning, offering a new class of neural network models for graph-structured data. The synergy between transformers and graph learning demonstrates strong performance and versatility…
From the beginning the Geant4 Visualisation System was designed to support several simultaneous graphics systems written to common abstract interfaces. Today it has matured into a powerful diagnostic and presentational tool. It comes with a…
The design of an automatic visual inspection system is usually performed in two stages. While the first stage consists in selecting the most suitable hardware setup for highlighting most effectively the defects on the surface to be…
This paper describes the development of a scale to measure technology acceptance in smart agriculture. The scale is intended for use in diverse situations, ranging for the evaluation of existing technologies already in widespread use, to…
