— We describe algorithms to build self-assembling robot systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. The distributed algorithms are based on locally optimal matchi...
— We are motivated by the prospect of automating microbial observing systems. To this end we have designed and built a robotic boat as part of a sensor network for monitoring aqu...
This paper formally introduces several stability characterizations of £xtured three-dimensional rigid bodies initially at rest and in unilateral contact with Coulomb friction. The...
Time redundancy (rollback-recovery) and hardware redundancy are commonly used in real-time systems to achieve fault tolerance. From an energy consumption point of view, time redun...
This paper presents novel service-based Grid data management middleware that leverages standards defined by WSRF specifications to create and manage dynamic Grid file system sessi...
