We describe a time-domain passivity control methodology that uses programmable eddy current viscous dampers to prevent a user from extracting energy from a haptic interface. A pas...
Today’s complex production systems allow to simultaneously build different products following individual production plans. Such plans may fail due to component faults or unfores...
We examine the trade-off between lifetime and distortion in image sensor networks deployed for gathering visual information over a monitored region. Users navigate over the monito...
Computation in the physical world is restricted by the following spatial locality constraint: In a single unit of time, information can only travel a bounded distance in space. A ...
We introduce the class of Rigid Tree Automata (RTA), an extension of standard bottom-up automata on ranked trees with distinguished states called rigid. Rigid states define a rest...
