Planning for systems with dynamics is challenging as often there is no local planner available and the only primitive to explore the state space is forward propagation of controls. In this context, tree sampling-based planners have been…
Over the past decades, engineering systems have developed as networks of systems that deliver multiple services across multiple domains. This work aims to develop an optimization program for a dynamic, hetero-functional graph theory-based…
Despite the attention that the problem of path planning for tethered robots has garnered in the past few decades, the approaches proposed to solve it typically rely on a discrete representation of the configuration space and do not exploit…
There is an impressive body of work on developing heuristics and other reasoning algorithms to guide search in optimal and anytime planning algorithms for classical planning. However, very little effort has been directed towards developing…
This paper presents a novel framework for Jacobian computation in motion optimization problems involving multi-link systems, where physical quantities are represented using higher-order time derivatives. In motion optimization of robots and…
FPGAs are well-suited for dataflow architectures that process data in a streaming or pipelined manner, thus satisfying the high computational and communication demands of emerging applications. However, manually implementing an efficient…
Recent work has demonstrated real-time mapping and reconstruction from dense perception, while motion planning based on distance fields has been shown to achieve fast, collision-free motion synthesis with good convergence properties.…
Finding optimal paths in connected graphs requires determining the smallest total cost for traveling along the graph's edges. This problem can be solved by several classical algorithms where, usually, costs are predefined for all edges.…
In warehouse and manufacturing environments, manipulation platforms are frequently deployed at conveyor belts to perform pick and place tasks. Because objects on the conveyor belts are moving, robots have limited time to pick them up. This…
Recent consumer demand for home robots has accelerated performance of robotic grasping. However, a key component of the perception pipeline, the depth camera, is still expensive and inaccessible to most consumers. In addition, grasp…
In a generalized network design (GND) problem, a set of resources are assigned to multiple communication requests. Each request contributes its weight to the resources it uses and the total load on a resource is then translated to the cost…
The orthogonality constraints, including the hard and soft ones, have been used to normalize the weight matrices of Deep Neural Network (DNN) models, especially the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT), to reduce…
Decisions in automated logistic systems can be improved based on knowledge of real-time state of individual parts and also environmental factors. These knowledge can be obtained through travel time of edges by individual robots which…
Recent advancements in Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) have significantly advanced text-to-image (T2I) generation, particularly through the integration of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning. However, existing CoT-based T2I methods largely…
Network-on-chip (NoC) architectures have been proposed as a promising alternative to classical bus-based communication architectures. In this paper, we propose a two phases framework to solve application-specific NoCs topology generation…
While modern policy optimization methods can do complex manipulation from sensory data, they struggle on problems with extended time horizons and multiple sub-goals. On the other hand, task and motion planning (TAMP) methods scale to long…
A method to increase the precision of feedforward networks is proposed. It requires a prior knowledge of a target function derivatives of several orders and uses this information in gradient based training. Forward pass calculates not only…
This paper considers the problem of designing motion planning algorithms for control-affine systems that generate collision-free paths from an initial to a final destination and can be executed using safe and dynamically-feasible…
