Segregation in swarms of mobile robots based on the Brazil nut effect
— We study a simple algorithm inspired by the Brazil nut effect for achieving segregation in a swarm of mobile robots. The algorithm lets each robot mimic a particle of a certain...

Belief Propagation with Directional Statistics for Solving the Shape-from-Shading Problem
The Shape-from-Shading [SfS] problem infers shape from reflected light, collected using a camera at a single point in space only. Reflected light alone does not provide sufficient ...
