Approximate Shortest Paths in Anisotropic Regions
Our goal is to find an approximate shortest path for a point robot moving in a planar subdivision with n vertices. Let 1 be a real number. Distances in each face of this subdivis...

Nearly Tight Bounds for the Continuum-Armed Bandit Problem
In the multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm must choose from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to minimize the total cost of the chosen strategies. Wh...

Central axis approach for computing n-finger force-closure grasps
— In this paper, we propose a new approach for computing force-closure grasps of two-dimensional and threedimensional objects. Assuming n hard-finger contact with Coulomb fricti...
