This paper presents a novel garbage pickup robot which operates on the grass. The robot is able to detect the garbage accurately and autonomously by using a deep neural network for garbage recognition. In addition, with the ground…

Object permanence is the concept that objects do not suddenly disappear in the physical world. Humans understand this concept at young ages and know that another person is still there, even though it is temporarily occluded. Neural networks…

Generalized Rapid Action Value Estimation (GRAVE) has been shown to be a strong variant within the Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) family of algorithms for General Game Playing (GGP). However, its reliance on storing additional win/visit…

This work considers dynamic memory management for population-based probabilistic programs, such as those using particle methods for inference. Such programs exhibit a pattern of allocating, copying, potentially mutating, and deallocating…

As robots perform manipulation tasks and interact with objects, it is probable that they accidentally drop objects (e.g., due to an inadequate grasp of an unfamiliar object) that subsequently bounce out of their visual fields. To enable…

To improve the storage capacity of the Hopfield model, we develop a version of the dreaming algorithm that perpetually reinforces the patterns to be stored (as in the Hebb rule), and erases the spurious memories (as in dreaming algorithms).…

The environments of such large industrial machines as waste cranes in waste incineration plants are often weakly observable, where little information about the environmental state is contained in the observations due to technical difficulty…

Waste recycling is an important way of saving energy and materials in the production process. In general cases recyclable objects are mixed with unrecyclable objects, which raises a need for identification and classification. This paper…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved remarkable success across diverse tasks on graph-structured data, primarily through the use of learned weights in message passing layers. In this paper, we demonstrate that random weights can be…

In recent years, there has been a significant effort dedicated to developing efficient, robust, and general human-to-robot handover systems. However, the area of flexible handover in the context of complex and continuous objects' motion…

Object finding in clutter is a skill that requires perception of the environment and in many cases physical interaction. In robotics, interactive perception defines a set of algorithms that leverage actions to improve the perception of the…

The counting task, which plays a fundamental role in numerous applications (e.g., crowd counting, traffic statistics), aims to predict the number of objects with various densities. Existing object counting tasks are designed for a single…

The use of wearable and mobile devices for health monitoring and activity recognition applications is increasing rapidly. These devices need to maximize their accuracy and active time under a tight energy budget imposed by battery and small…

Efficient handover management remains a critical challenge in dense urban cellular networks, where high cell density, user mobility, and diverse service demands increase the likelihood of unnecessary handovers and ping-pong effects. This…

Lengthening a computer memory's lifespan is important for e-waste and sustainability. Uneven wear of memory is a major barrier. The problem is becoming even more urgent as emerging memory such as phase-change memory is subject to even…

In this paper we focus on improving object detection performance in terms of recall. We propose a post-detection stage during which we explore the image with the objective of recovering missed detections. This exploration is performed by…

Multi-object transport using multi-robot systems has the potential for diverse practical applications such as delivery services owing to its efficient individual and scalable cooperative transport. However, allocating transportation tasks…

We present a general methodology for establishing the impossibility of implementing certain concurrent objects on different (weak) memory models. The key idea behind our approach lies in characterizing memory models by their mergeability…

Population growth in the last decades has resulted in the production of about 2.01 billion tons of municipal waste per year. The current waste management systems are not capable of providing adequate solutions for the disposal and use of…

One of the major performance and scalability bottlenecks in large scientific applications is parallel reading and writing to supercomputer I/O systems. The usage of parallel file systems and consistency requirements of POSIX, that all the…
