In this document we describe and discuss energy tanks, a control algorithm which has gained popularity inside the robotics and control community over the last years. This article has the threefold scope of i) introducing to the reader the…
The development of an aircraft industrial system is a complex process which faces the challenge of digital discontinuity in multidisciplinary engineering due to various interfaces between different digital tools, leading to extra…
Reactive answer set programming has paved the way for incorporating online information into operative solving processes. Although this technology was originally devised for dealing with data streams in dynamic environments, like assisted…
After more than 10 years of activity, FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade) has to face the problem of taking advantage of the new hardware and software technology saving all the investments yet done. So, for example, the 20 years old Westinghouse…
In this paper, we introduce a software and hardware structure for on-line mobile robotic systems. The hardware mainly consists of a Multi-Sensor Smart Robot connected to the Internet through 3G mobile network. The system employs a…
The control system (TICS) for the test interferometer being built to support the development of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)will itself be a prototype for the final ALMA array, providing a test for the distributed control…
This short paper outlines two recent works on multi-contact teleoperation and the development of the SEIKO (Sequential Equilibrium Inverse Kinematic Optimization) framework. SEIKO adapts commands from the operator in real-time and ensures…
We present a hierarchical framework to solve robot planning as an input control problem. At the lowest level are temporary closed control loops, ("tasks"), each representing a behaviour, contingent on a specific sensory input and therefore…
Today functional programming languages are seen as a practical solution to the difficult problems of concurrent and distributed programming. Erlang is a functional language designed to build massively scalable and fault tolerant…
There has been an increasing, and welcome, Open Hardware trend towards science teams building and sharing their designs for new instruments. These devices, often built upon low-cost microprocessors and micro-controllers, can be readily…
Tangelo [link: https://github.com/goodchemistryco/Tangelo] is an open-source Python software package for the development of end-to-end chemistry workflows on quantum computers, released under Apache 2.0 license. It aims to support the…
Three challenges limit the progress of robot learning research: robots are expensive (few labs can participate), everyone uses different robots (findings do not generalize across labs), and we lack internet-scale robotics data. We take on…
Transient stability boundary (TSB) is an important tool in power system online security monitoring, but practically it suffers from high computational burden using state-of-the-art methods, such as time-domain simulation (TDS), with…
Users of astronomical observatories rely on Exposure Time Calculators (ETC) to prepare their proposals and then their observations. The ETC is therefore a crucial element in an observatory's data workflow and in particular is key to…
This paper presents an open-source, lightweight, yet comprehensive software framework, named RPC, which integrates physics-based simulators, planning and control libraries, debugging tools, and a user-friendly operator interface. RPC…
Agent-based simulations, especially those including communication, are complex to model and execute. To help researchers deal with this complexity and to encourage modular and maintainable research software, the Python-based framework mango…
The large penetration and continued growth in ownership of personal electronic devices represents a freely available and largely untapped source of computing power. To leverage those, we present Pando, a new volunteer computing tool based…
Every home is different, and every person likes things done in their particular way. Therefore, home robots of the future need to both reason about the sequential nature of day-to-day tasks and generalize to user's preferences. To this end,…
This paper presents a simulation testbed developed for testing and demonstration of decentralized control algorithms designed for multi-agent systems. Aimed at bridging a gap between theory and practical deployment of such algorithms, this…
This paper presents a new discrete event-based network simulator named TARVOS - Computer Networks Simulator, being designed as part of the first Author's Masters research and will provide support to simulating MPLS architecture, several…
