This paper presents an AI system applied to location and robotic grasping. Experimental setup is based on a parameter study to train a deep-learning network based on Mask-RCNN to perform waste location in indoor and outdoor environment,…

Stowing, the task of placing objects in cluttered shelves or bins, is a common task in warehouse and manufacturing operations. However, this task is still predominantly carried out by human workers as stowing is challenging to automate due…

Robots in the real world frequently come across identical objects in dense clutter. When evaluating grasp poses in these scenarios, a target-driven grasping system requires knowledge of spatial relations between scene objects (e.g.,…

Generative adversarial network (GAN) continues to be a popular research direction due to its high generation quality. It is observed that many state-of-the-art GANs generate samples that are more similar to the training set than a holdout…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge bases, achieving state-of-the-art results in various coding tasks. The core of RAG is retrieving demonstration examples, which is…

Attractor networks are an influential theory for memory storage in brain systems. This theory has recently been challenged by the observation of strong temporal variability in neuronal recordings during memory tasks. In this work, we study…

We introduce \emph{Adaptive RAG Memory} (ARM), a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework that replaces a static vector index with a \emph{dynamic} memory substrate governed by selective remembrance and decay. Frequently retrieved…

Shelves are commonly used to store objects in homes, stores, and warehouses. We formulate the problem of Optimal Shelf Arrangement (OSA), where the goal is to optimize the arrangement of objects on a shelf for access time given an access…

We study networks of M/M/1 queues in which nodes act as caches that store objects. Exogenous requests for objects are routed towards nodes that store them; as a result, object traffic in the network is determined not only by demand but,…

A Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System is a robotised parts-to-picker system that is particularly well-suited for e-commerce warehousing. One distinguishing feature of this type of warehouse is its high storage modularity. Numerous robots are…

Most functional languages rely on some garbage collection for automatic memory management. They usually eschew reference counting in favor of a tracing garbage collector, which has less bookkeeping overhead at runtime. On the other hand,…

Motivated by the increasing prominence of loosely-coupled systems, such as mobile and sensor networks, which are characterised by intermittent connectivity and volatile data, we study the tagging of data with so-called expiration times.…

We propose a novel approach for class-agnostic object proposal generation, which is efficient and especially well-suited to detect small objects. Efficiency is achieved by scale-specific objectness attention maps which focus the processing…

Human memory retrieval often resembles ecological foraging where animals search for food in a patchy environment. Optimal foraging means following the Marginal Value Theorem (MVT), in which individuals exploit a patch of semantically…

This study intends to build a smartbin that segregates solid waste into its respective bins. To make the waste management process more interesting for the end-users; to notify the utility staff when the smart bin needs to be unloaded; to…

Humans learn to recognize and manipulate new objects in lifelong settings without forgetting the previously gained knowledge under non-stationary and sequential conditions. In autonomous systems, the agents also need to mitigate similar…

Multiple-suction-cup grasping can improve the efficiency of bin picking in cluttered scenes. In this paper, we propose a grasp planner for a vacuum gripper to use multiple suction cups to simultaneously grasp multiple objects or an object…

In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of Cheney's Copy Algorithm for a Lisp-like system and experimentally show the infeasability of developing an optimal garbage collector for general use. We summarize and compare several…

The paper presents techniques for analyzing the expected download time in distributed storage systems that employ systematic availability codes. These codes provide access to hot data through the systematic server containing the object and…

Efficient waste management and recycling heavily rely on garbage exploration and identification. In this study, we propose GSA2Seg (Garbage Segmentation and Attribute Analysis), a novel visual approach that utilizes quadruped robotic dogs…
