Parallel and distributed computing infrastructure are increasingly being embraced in the context of manufacturing applications, including real-time scheduling. In this paper, we pr...
This paper presents a new type of haptic device using spherical geometry. The basic idea of haptic devices is to provide users with feedback information on the motion and/or force ...
Abstract-We study the problem of achieving global behavior in a group of distributed robots using only local sensing and minimal communication, in the context of formations. The go...
Many problems in practically all fields of science, engineering and technology involve global optimization. It becomes more and more important to develop the efficient global opti...
We present a method for sampling feature vectors in large (e.g., 2000 5000 16 bit) images that finds subsets of pixel locations which represent "regions" in the image. Sa...
