Controlling soft continuum robotic arms is challenging due to their hyper-redundancy and dexterity. In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time, closed-loop control of the configuration space variables of a soft robotic arm, composed…
The Fermilab Linac delivers 400 MeV H- beam to the rest of the accelerator chain. Providing stable intensity, energy, and emittance is key since it directly affects downstream machines. To counter fluctuations of Linac output due to various…
We use optimal control theory to obtain shortcuts to adiabaticity which maximize population transfer in a three-level STIRAP system, for a given finite duration of the process and specified dissipation rate at the intermediate state. We fix…
The automatic analysis of the surgical process, from videos recorded during surgeries, could be very useful to surgeons, both for training and for acquiring new techniques. The training process could be optimized by automatically providing…
Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is one of the key enabling technologies in future sixth-generation (6G) networks. Current ISAC systems predominantly rely on deterministic pilot signals within the signal frame to accomplish…
Purpose: This study presents a Deep Learning (DL)-based quality assessment (QA) approach for evaluating auto-generated contours (auto-contours) in radiotherapy, with emphasis on Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (OART). Leveraging Bayesian…
We present a method for providing statistical guarantees on runtime safety and goal reachability for integrated planning and control of a class of systems with unknown nonlinear stochastic underactuated dynamics. Specifically, given a…
The MUGAST-AGATA-VAMOS set-up at GANIL combines the MUGAST highly-segmented silicon array with the state-of-the-art AGATA array and the large acceptance VAMOS spectrometer. The mechanical and electronics integration copes with the…
Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) provides highly conformal dose distributions through the application of multiple, angularly spaced fields, each applying an ad-hoc pattern of spatially varying particle fluences. In particular,…
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has introduced CMS1074v2, a quality measure for computed tomography (CT) that assesses radiation dose and image quality across 18 CT exam categories. This measure mandates the calculation…
In this study, we perform a statistical analysis of the radar cross section (RCS) for various test targets in an indoor factory at \(25\)-\(28\) GHz, with the goal of formulating parameters that may be used for target identification and…
Techniques for preclinical intensity modulated radiation therapy are being developed to improve translation by replicating the clinical paradigm. This study presents the first treatment planning comparison between small animal IMRT…
Purpose: Magnetization transfer saturation (MTsat) mapping is commonly used to examine the macromolecular content of brain tissue. This study compared variable flip angle (VFA) T1 mapping against compressed sensing (cs)MP2RAGE T1 mapping…
Purpose: Visually Guided Reaching (VGR) on the Kinarm robot yields sensitive kinematic biomarkers but requires 40-64 reaches, imposing time and fatigue burdens. We evaluate whether time-series foundation models can replace unrecorded trials…
Estimating the impact of trauma treatment protocols is complicated by the high dimensional yet finite sample nature of trauma data collected from observational studies. Viscoelastic assays are highly predictive measures of hemostasis.…
Precision contouring control is crucial in industrial machining processes, particularly for applications such as laser and water jet cutting, where contouring accuracy directly determines product quality. This paper presents a novel control…
Uncalibrated instrument transformers (ITs) can degrade the performance of downstream applications that rely on the voltage and current measurements that ITs provide. It is also well-known that phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based system-wide…
When treating moving tumors, the precise delivery of proton therapy by pencil beam scanning (PBS) is challenged by the interplay effect. Although several 4D-optimization methods have been proposed, what is the most beneficial motion…
The widespread deployment of power grid ad hoc sensor networks based on IEEE 802.15.4 raises reliability challenges when nodes selfishly adapt CSMA/CA parameters to maximize individual performance. Such behavior degrades reliability, energy…
Recent progress in robotics has underscored the demand for real-time control in applications such as manufacturing, healthcare, and autonomous systems, where the timely delivery of mission-critical commands under heterogeneous robotic…
