Let F be a collection of n d-variate, possibly partially defined, functions, all algebraic of some constant maximum degree. We present a randomized algorithm that computes the vert...
We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
— Many factors such as size, power, and weight constrain the design of modular snake robots. Meeting these constraints requires implementing a complex mechanical and electrical a...

— Mapping an environment with an imaging sensor becomes very challenging if the environment to be mapped is unknown and has to be explored. Exploration involves the planning of v...
Several research areas today overlap between the tracks of databases, information retrieval and knowledge management, such as natural language processing, semantic web, digital li...
