Increasingly, industrial robots are being used in production systems. This is because they are highly flexible machines and economically competitive with human labor. The problem is that they are difficult to program. Thus, manufacturing…
Perching allows unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to reduce energy consumption, remain anchored for surface sampling operations, or stably survey their surroundings. Previous efforts for perching on vertical surfaces have predominantly…
Recent developments in the commercial open source community have catalysed the use of Linux containers for scalable deployment of web-based applications to the cloud. Scientific software can be containerized with dependencies, configuration…
New-generation space missions require satellites to carry substantial amounts of liquid propellant, making it essential to analyse the coupled control-structure-propellant dynamics in detail. While Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) offers…
With the success of deep learning techniques in a broad range of application domains, many deep learning software frameworks have been developed and are being updated frequently to adapt to new hardware features and software libraries,…
Layered software architecture contains several intra-layer and inter-layer dependencies. Each layer depends on shared components making it difficult to release a code change, bug fix or feature without exhaustive testing and having to build…
We propose a robust calibration pipeline that optimises the selection of calibration samples for the estimation of calibration parameters that fit the entire scene. We minimise user error by automating the data selection process according…
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has transformed representation learning for large models, yet remains unexplored for microcontroller (MCU)-class models with fewer than 500K parameters. We identify three obstacles at this scale -- projection…
Recent work in robotic manipulation focuses on object retrieval in cluttered spaces under occlusion. Nevertheless, the majority of efforts lack an analysis of conditions for the completeness of the approaches or the methods apply only when…
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…
Flow transport in confined spaces is ubiquitous in technological processes, ranging from separation and purification of pharmaceutical ingredients by microporous membranes and drug delivery in biomedical treatment to chemical and biomass…
Microfabricated alkali vapor cells are key to enable miniature devices such as atomic clocks and optically pumped magnetometers with reduced size, weight and power. Yet, more versatile fabrication methods are still needed to further expand…
The fast demographic growth, together with the concentration of the population in cities and the increasing amount of daily waste, are factors that push to the limit the ability of waste assimilation by Nature. Therefore, we need…
As large language models (LLMs) become widely used, their environmental impact, especially carbon emission, has attracted more attention. Prior studies focus on compute-related carbon emissions. In this paper, we find that storage is…
Packing, initially utilized in the pre-training phase, is an optimization technique designed to maximize hardware resource efficiency by combining different training sequences to fit the model's maximum input length. Although it has…
Autonomous flight of micro air vehicles (MAVs) in unknown, cluttered environments remains challenging for time-critical missions due to conservative maneuvering strategies. This article presents an integrated planning and control framework…
Grid-based storage systems with uniformly shaped loads (e.g., containers, pallets, totes) are commonplace in logistics, industrial, and transportation domains. A key performance metric for such systems is the maximization of space…
We present the design, fabrication, and commissioning of a new liquid cell for X-ray absorption spectroscopy, that allows measurement in both transmission and fluorescence modes. The design consists of easily demountable and replaceable…
Deploying complex, distributed scientific workflows across diverse HPC sites is often hindered by site-specific dependencies and complex build environments. This paper investigates the design and performance of portable HPC container images…
In this work, we present a novel algorithm to perform spill-free handling of open-top liquid-filled containers that operates in cluttered environments. By allowing liquid-filled containers to be tilted at higher angles and enabling motion…
